The insurance industry is changing quickly.

AI, automation, cyber risk, ESG requirements and evolving regulation are reshaping the skills organisations now need across underwriting, claims, compliance, broking and operations.

At the same time, employers are competing for talent in an increasingly challenging market. Developing talent internally is becoming a much more important part of long-term workforce planning.

The Insurance Practitioner Apprenticeship was designed to help employers grow talent in a structured and supported way, combining practical workplace experience with professional education.

Now entering its 11th intake, the programme continues to support organisations investing in the future workforce of insurance.

Build the skills your business needs now while developing the talent that will shape its future. Join the growing number of employers engaging with the Insurance Practitioner Apprenticeship and discover how the programme can support your organisation.
