To support you as you study for your exams, you'll receive paid study leave, plus an extensive range of study and tuition materials.

    Building Relationships
    With Aon business leaders playing an active role in our development, you're encouraged to make the most of every networking opportunity open to you. The early relationships you build will include:

    Your Apprentice network - you'll meet Apprentices from all areas of Aon in the UK, helping you navigate our business and grow a support network from day one
    Your Buddy - a recent apprentice colleague who can help you out with day-to-day questions, support you with networking, specific issues or any general thoughts or queries you have
    Business mentors - many experienced colleagues will be actively interested and involved in your development
    The Early Careers Team - here to help smooth the way, open doors, and advise you on developing your knowledge, skills and prospects

    Your career beyond your Apprenticeship
    Once you've completed the formal apprenticeship programme, you'll continue to receive lots of support at Aon. We would expect you to be promotion ready within 24 months and you will continue to grow your career at Aon. You will also be able to continue your studies for the CFA1 qualifications. Alongside the interactive development programme we've mentioned above, you'll have the chance to explore different career paths. Once you have completed your 18-month Apprenticeship, your training and development doesn't stop there, you will continue your professional development taking on more client responsibilities.
