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

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.
