Unlocking potential - supporting broker apprenticeships for a brighter future

Apprenticeships can offer numerous benefits for our industry. In light of National Apprenticeship Week on the 10 to 16 February 2025, we thought we’d remind you of the fantastic support Aviva provides all-year round for brokers, including access to funding and additional opportunities your apprentice can benefit from through us.

Apprenticeships can help you recruit individuals who bring fresh ideas and perspectives, whilst they gain access to industry knowledge and insights through structured learning pathways. This approach effectively develops talent and makes sure there's a skilled workforce for the future. Apprentices themselves gain invaluable hands-on experience, mentorship and a clear pathway to a rewarding career.

But don’t just take our word for it!
 

“The apprenticeship scheme is truly incredible. As someone who was new to insurance, the apprenticeship fast tracked my knowledge and skills. It is a great way to learn through your job role and it exposes you to all sorts of ideas and situations before you have to come across them. You can certainly link everything back to your job role and completing the CII this way was so helpful as it was applied learning. Everything within the apprenticeship links so well to all job roles and to the CII and any other legislation and regulations that may apply, whilst also making sure we understand things to do with ourselves and our mental health. Without the apprenticeship scheme I can honestly say I do not think I’d be where I am today.” Holly Wotton from Brunel Insurance Brokers who passed her apprenticeship with distinction.

Holly has now been in the insurance industry for nearly two years and has recently earned her first promotion to a full broking role. She attributes this achievement to the apprenticeship programme, which provided her with the confidence and skills necessary for her success.

We’re launching a wide range of development opportunities for your apprentices this year. These initiatives will complement the apprenticeship programme by focusing on areas such as underwriting, claims, risk, loss adjusting and more. There's never been a better time to recruit an apprentice or support the development of a current team member.
