Aon Work Insights Programme Review

The five-day virtual programme and a structured week of interactive learning and engagement. Exploring business career opportunities with Aon, while getting the chance to learn new skills and find out more about what we do. Receiving talks from professionals and employees at the office and getting an insight into the different sectors in Aon like insurance, Tax and Cyber-security/Technology.

From this experience I was able to enhance my commination and people skills when discussing in the break-room with my team I was allocated in. Talking to our mentors asking questions and getting helpful advice. Time management and analytic skills from referring to our case studies which we were given at the end of the day with an hour to collect information and refer as a team.

I really enjoyed the side of meeting like-minded students who aren't afraid to put themselves out their as we all chose to take part in the experience during our spare time. Getting to know them and collaborating in a team was really fun and exciting. There was a lot of long talks and presentations however it gave a really informative insight with breaks in-between to relax.

They had presented us each day with what our schedule was going to look like in the day having a structured and productive day was very important as it was throughout a course of a week. We were given a fair amount of time to infer in break-rooms and discuss. Lunch and two breaks a day which gave us some free time and then get right back into a routine.

We learnt directly from the employees at Aon and they could all proudly say the culture is what makes them so happy about working at Aon. The inclusivity and diversity was a big factor in the company and this was shown through the experience talked to us by the employees.

This was a huge help into looking at my future career as I want to go into financial services this allowed me to learn about different sectors inside of the field which I and never heard of and especially technology as the world evolves this is become massively important and also to take into consideration that companies like Aon are moving to more sustainability which is going to be a big factor in where I choose to work in my future.

No, this was a free virtual experience for students in year 12 over the course of a week in the school holidays. In this experience we were given training and development from our mentors and speakers. To provide greater access for students in state-funded schools or colleges. All we had to do was send in an application in detail. However, there was a 2-day in person experience where travel expenses were paid for and arranged by Aon.

Absolutely, I was allocated in break-rooms with other student and a supervisor present to answer any questions we might of had. They provided us with mentors which you are able to message on the connectr website. We were able to get Linked in's from the professionals and speakers. There was a networking session were we were all able to ask as many questions.

Yes

This is because it is clear that they are well structured and up to date company. Giving experiences like this to young people shows there willingness to evolve and pass on there values to the next generation. The information that was taken from this experience was very helpful and am eye-opener into the insurance world and financial services sector. Definitely and experience to remember and you get to meet people you probably wouldn't ever get the chance too.

When applying for Aon make sure to do your research on the company just to prepare your self and think of questions to ask them when you are networking. Make sure to complete the modules that are on the connectr website and just to be yourself as they want to know about your authentic answers and why you interested in this program.
