Relationships:

During your apprenticeship, you’ll be surrounded by inspiring business leaders and senior colleagues — so we encourage you to make the most of every networking opportunity.

The key early relationships you’ll build will include:

  • Your Apprentice network – You’ll meet apprentices from all areas of Aon in the UK, who will help you navigate our business and grow your support network
