Fully Comp 15: Insurance Internships and graduate programmes - keeping up in the race for new talent
For the fifteenth episode of Post’s video series Fully Comp, we gathered together a panel to discuss insurance internships and graduate programmes.
In the wake of the pandemic Office of National Statistics data reveals record levels of unemployment with young people hardest hit as employers scale back on recruitment opportunities.
With this in mind we asked our experts whether insurance companies are maintaining internships and graduate programmes at the same level now as pre-pandemic; what firms are seeing in terms of applicant numbers; and how these schemes differ with reduced in person interaction?
Panel
Peter Farrelly, managing director commercial claims services, Sedgwick
Jules Harrison, head of graduate talent, Allianz
