I chose the apprenticeship route as I was keen to experience the working world first hand but still wanted to study, gain qualifications, and keep academically developing. An apprenticeship was the perfect opportunity for this as it offers that balance of work and study. I’m on the Risk and Compliance apprenticeship. I’m rotating around the three teams within Customer and Operational Risk Team (CORM). Getting to work with a wide range of inspiring people is one of the best parts of the apprenticeship.
Amelia Buxton, Customer and Operational Risk Apprentice
Although Intact Insurance has a rich history and heritage, I hadn’t expected the company to be so open to change and geared to help people grow in role. Employee training and development is not only present in my role it is encouraged organisation-wide. It was surprising to see the range of opportunities and help available once you get on to the programme as well, the ability to take on more responsibilities is open
Saqib Ali, Claims Graduate and Senior Insurance Professional Apprentice
As my internship draws to a close, I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to work at Intact Insurance, especially with the Social Impact team who have made my experience really enjoyable. The experience and connections that I have gained from it has meant that I have been fortunate enough to secure a permanent role within the company as an Assistant Underwriter in the Casualty team. The most important lesson that many have told me is to bring your whole self to work. We are all unique in our own ways and there are many people here who are keen to support you as you start your career.
