At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. As an organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

Risk Capital

Join Aon as a Commercial Risk or Reinsurance summer intern and spend 9 weeks discovering why insurance, reinsurance and risk management are the cornerstones of every company's capital structure. We help our clients identify their risks, ensuring they have the best possible cover to mitigate them.

As well as identifying risk for our clients, we also predict and spread risk. This means that, if major catastrophes hit, economies can keep going and people can get on with their lives. As an Aon Summer Intern, you'll play a key role in making this essential work happen.

We’ll help you learn about our business and the broking process, develop your professional skills and build strong relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

Commercial Risk Solutions: Trends in economics, demographics and geopolitics – compounded by the rapid pace of technological change – are creating unprecedented volatility for organisations. We assist clients with their insurance buying decisions, aiming to optimize the balance of risk transfer and retention financing through valuation and analysis.  You can learn more about our Risk Transfer offerings here: Broking and Risk Transfer | Aon

Reinsurance Solutions: Unprecedented volatility is creating new risks and opportunities for organisations across the global economy. We provide risk transfer, claims advocacy and capital management solutions to help re/insurers reduce volatility and build more resilient businesses, governments and communities.

You’ll join either our Commercial Risk Solutions or Reinsurance Solutions team, playing a crucial role in delivering dynamic, bespoke intellectual and financial capacity to our clients all around the world.

You’ll focus on developing client-management skills too and build relationships with a broad spectrum of people — including clients, our own industry specialists and members of the global insurance and reinsurance markets.

We’ll give you real responsibility early on, to ensure you gain a deep understanding of your potential future career path.

Your Development

For 9 weeks you will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of insightful and interactive training and development activities in addition to your role.  Here are the key elements of our 9-week Internship development programme:

• Induction. A great way for you to learn about Aon and our Story, meet and network with your fellow interns and Aon colleagues from across our business including senior leaders; technical and business training to equip you with skills and knowledge to help you in your role
• Aon Business focused project. Our interns are given a project to complete during the programme. You and your team of fellow interns will be tasked to research and help to find solutions for a real business challenge. At the end of the internship, you will have the chance to present your findings to a panel of Aon colleagues
• Feedback. When you start as an intern at Aon, you will have time with your line manager to discuss your goals and throughout your internship you will receive feedback and support

Your career beyond your Summer Internship

Our summer internship programme is designed as a potential first step towards a long-term career with us. Your performance during your internship may lead to an offer for a place on our graduate programme in the same business unit the following year. We encourage you to apply for an internship that aligns with your long-term interests and career ambitions. By choosing a role that matches your aspirations, you’ll be better positioned to take full advantage of our Launch development programme, which offers comprehensive support for your professional qualification, a level 4 Diploma in Insurance from the CII (Chartered Insurance Institute), and ongoing career growth.

3. Video Interview

• Preparation matters, so you’ll have up to 10 days (240 hours) from receiving your invitation to record and submit your video interview.
