We’ve thought long and hard about how you can benefit most from the extraordinary variety of activity that goes on at Lloyd’s. As a result, we’ve created a programme that’s broad enough to give you a wide overview of Lloyd’s and flexible enough to cater to a variety of interests and ambitions.
So, what will you do?
Broadly, you’ll tackle three to four projects and placements across both the Corporation and the market, spending up to six months in each. Over eighteen months you’ll see first-hand how business is brought to Lloyd's, how underwriters price a risk and how new insurance products are developed. You’ll also work alongside – and learn from – experts in many different fields.
Placements within the Corporation will give you a panoramic view of Lloyd’s as a whole, and offer insights into many different areas. Time spent in the market, meanwhile, will teach you a great deal about how underwriting actually works, open your eyes to the different cultures of the managing agents, and give you a taste of the pace and energy with which business is conducted there. There may also be opportunities to work with Lloyd’s brokers to see how they work with underwriters to ensure their client’s risks are covered.
We won’t bring you here merely to sit and watch. You’ll pit your talent against several placements and projects. You’ll tackle real-time issues and offer real-life solutions. You’ll develop not only strong business knowledge but also specialist insurance skills, and you’ll gain an overview of Lloyd’s, the global insurance industry and business in general.
Furthermore, you’ll have the chance to network and build relationships with graduates from other schemes within the industry - either at managing agents or brokers. We will also provide you with opportunities to hear speakers from other areas of the industry, focussing on different industry challenges or career paths.
