Employee Benefits Apprentice Review

I am working within different teams within the employee benefits sector of the business and I will be learning each job and training within them to then move on to an associate or consulting role. I am in each team for 3 months and will learn the admin work before starting the consulting.

I have learned many new skills since starting and improved skills in communication massively. Since the job is client facing I have improved my social and communication skills to fit the professional standard set by Aon. I have also picked up many new little skills when using the systems in my jobs.

The programme is enjoyable and has aready given me many opportunities. I look forward to working further through the apprenticeship and enhancing my skills more. The programme has offered the opportunity to take professional exams which will help in my career which is very beneficial and will come in useful.

The apprenticeship programme is very well structured an involves many meetings and communication between all apprentices aboout the business. There are regular updates for all apprentices and progress and goals are tracked to ensure we are meeting expectations. Workshops are set up for the different exams which are very useful.

I regularly recieve support from my colleagues and always have somebody to help with any issues I have which is very useful as it means I can always find other ways to complete jobs. I am also offered a good amount of support for my exams from my manager and trainer.

My training provider has offers support for my exams through face to face meetings, online calls and workshops with other apprentices doing the exam. We are also provided with different questions only held by the trainers which makes them good to practise exams with as the questions are new to us.

My qualifications for CF1 and LP2 will benefit me as it gives a a very good understanding of financial services and rules and regulations of the industry. I am already finding the revision beneficial as it is helping me understand things easier through my different rotations within Aon employee benefits.

There are many extra curricualr acitivities however I do not get involved in them. I am part of a charity scheme run by Aon called community champions which host charity events such as cake sales and clothing drives and send any earnings or donation to the assigned charities we chose.

Yes

Aon is a great place to start your career as it offers many unique opportunities to people and can help jump start a career within the industry. The apprenticeship programme is very good as it allows me to gain experience on the job as well as work and gain new skills.

My advice would be keep an open mind when applying as there are many benefits and perks of working at Aon and there are lots of opportunities to take which help you develop and establish a profitable career in the industry. Working at Aon is not just a standard office job.
