Broker Support Apprentice Review

I am in the broker support team and this involves the creation of contract slips, as well as endorsement production. I also have the responsibility of overseeing certain spreadsheets.

I have learnt lots of new information about both the insurance and reinsurance industry. I have developed leadership skills through overseeing spreadsheets. This has taught me to take both responsibility and accountability.

I do enjoy it. There are some parts which I find less enjoyable than others but I think this is expected in most professions.

It is very organised and structured. I have tasks that I must complete by certain deadlines and I also have monthly catch up calls with my apprenticeship coach which are very helpful and keep me on track.

I feel as though I receive a lot of support, especially from my line manager.

I receive a lot of support. The tasks are structured around working towards my qualifications which is beneficial. My apprenticeship coach also keeps me on track by pushing me to complete my exams.

The qualification teaches me a lot of information about both insurance and reinsurance, which transfers across to my job role. I can use the correct terminology when speaking to members of my team.

There are lots of social activities and sports teams at Guy Carpenter. One example is the young professionals group which strives to provide opportunities for the younger people who are working within insurance.

Yes

They have been great so far. They have provided all the resources that I need to succeed. I cannot fault the company thus far.

The best advice is to be yourself and to try and absorb as much information as possible, especially if you are new to the industry.
