What is the Sophomore Actuarial Career Discovery Program?

College Sophomores have the unique opportunity to connect with an advisor working in the actuarial field at Aon to learn more about a consulting career from one of our solutions team from either Health, Wealth, Risk, or Reinsurance and practice real-world scenarios during the discovery program.

How this opportunity is different

This mentorship opportunity gives students considering a career in actuarial science to connect with professionals and peers throughout this virtual program. This program is designed for sophomores and used as a direct pipeline to our Summer 2027 Actuarial Intern opportunities!

At the end of the program, selected mentees will have the opportunity to be fast-tracked to a final round interview for consideration for our intern program. While the mentor program is virtual, candidates would select location preferences that are aligned with their interests for Summer 2027 internship opportunities.

Palpable Score

75.1

/ 100

Aon offers multiple real entry routes, including paid internships, graduate Launch pathways, and apprenticeships that are designed for people starting out. Aon also publishes a relatively clear early-career selection journey in public-facing guidance, but candidate experiences suggest timing and communication can still vary by role and location. The score is held back mainly by limited public outcomes data, such as conversion rates from internships to full-time roles and early-career retention or promotion metrics.
