Aon Apprenticeships 2015

OP

Hi Dwij,

Thanks for your message.

Some apprenticeships may accept graduates, but unfortunately you will not be eligible to apply to Aon’s Apprenticeship programme.

Government supported apprenticeships have been developed as an alternative to university; therefore Aon are looking for A-level (or equivalent) students. We advertise the programme as being 18 months in duration; yet we continue to support an apprentice’s development in the years that follow in their career in the company. This level of apprenticeship is considered equivalent to degree.

Understandably, it is becoming more difficult to get that first opportunity in your chosen career. Many companies ask for relevant work experience; however, there are opportunities that consider applications from those with potential and those that have shown determination to get into an industry. Our graduate programme does exactly that! Take a look at our webpage to see if it is right for you. Please note; that graduate applications close midnight on Sunday 30^th December.

My advice is to do plenty of research to understand the industry; read through online publications and blogs, look at company webpages, and be open minded (there are lots of helpful professionals that may be able to give you a few minutes of their time). Also in your application, consider your transferable skills in regards to extracurricular activities, and experiences in work and university.

I hope that helps. Good luck!

Laura

It’s great to hear you’re supportive of Manchester United! Another company now sponsor their kit, but Aon still have a close affiliation with Man U.

There are many supporters in the company; if you are interested in working with us too, please take a look at our Early Careers and Aon webpages to see if there are any opportunities that interest you. We are always interested to hear from people who can demonstrate their enthusiasm and potential, and who have a strong academic background.

On a slightly separate note; did you know that at 167 decibels, Manchester United fans have recently been ranked the loudest in the Premier League?! That’s certainly enthusiastic, but we wouldn't recommend it in the workplace...

Hahaha haha I totally forgot you don't sponsor the shirt anymore.

I'll actually check it though, Aon are the massive type of firm I'd like to work for one day.

Hi everyone!

I'm new to TSR, so still finding my feet.

Just to introduce myself, I’m Laura and I will be one of the Official Reps on here for Aon. I work as part of the Early Careers Team and have joined to try to answer any questions you might have about apprenticeships.

We’ll be here most weekdays if you need us. How apprenticeships can be an alternative to university? What you could do to prepare for your application? What should you have for breakfast on the morning of your assessment centre? Any questions you have, we'll do our best to answer them as soon as we can.

Look forward to speaking with you all!

Laura

Hi I'm Kayla!

Aon apprenticeship scheme looks fantastic. The only problem i'm having is that i got B, C, D in my A levels which equals 240 UCAS but i have a C in my financial studies enrichment which is equivalent to 40 UCAS points, so overall i got 280 UCAS points will i still be able to apply? :frown:

Thanks in advance

Here you will be able to find information about each of the 3 streams - The Actuarial, Consultant and Insurance Apprenticeships. We are recruiting for a start date in late September 2015.

If you do decide to apply, take the time to consider your responses to the questions in relation to the role you are applying for. Of course, if you identify with more than one of the programs and you meet the requirements, then you are welcome to apply to more than one.

Good luck!
