Aon
What do we do?
You might not be too familiar with our name, but Aon is an organisation of incredible size and scope. Our business is professional services. We are the world's #1 insurance broker, #1 provider of reinsurance and #1 in human resource consulting. Worldwide, Aon employs over 60,000 people who use their specialist knowledge and industry expertise to help our clients grow. Across the UK, we have 7,000 employees in 30 offices.
Who do we take on?
Our UK Graduate Programme has been designed to identify and develop the future stars of our business. We want graduates who can demonstrate their enthusiasm and potential and are looking to graduate with a minimum 2:1 degree or equivalent.
We recruit graduates into five Streams. Depending on the area you join, you'll be using your numeracy, analytical abilities and strong customer service skills to help clients address key questions that affect the running and growth of their businesses. How can risk be predicted and spread to minimise the impact of natural or man-made catastrophes? How can financial markets effectively manage their risks? Where can employers invest to improve the value of their pension schemes? Will a company be able to meet its pension obligations decades down the line? How can it provide a benefits programme that rewards employees and represents a shrewd business investment for the employer? Aon's business is to provide the answers.
As well as graduate opportunities, we offer paid summer internships. Lasting 8-10 weeks, these provide students in their penultimate year at university with a real feel for our corporate environment and the chance to gain valuable experience in the profession that's of interest to them.
When can you expect real responsibility?
Early responsibility is a way of life at Aon. You'll very quickly become a technical specialist in your particular area, meeting clients and advising them on our market-leading products far sooner than you would in many other organisations. Our training will fully equip you to make an immediate impact on our business. The core Graduate Programme will complement your Stream-specific training, helping you to build your business knowledge, develop professional skills and grow effective relationships with clients and colleagues. We also provide full study support for professional qualifications. All in all, everything is in place to help you forge a career in which challenges and rewards will come in equal measure.
