Please note, the Insight Week will take place in London and attendance is mandatory for all three days.

During the week you will undertake a number of workshops, including: - Introduction to the Insurance industry - Personal development workshops - Introduction to Broking and Underwriting - Introduction to Risk - CV and interview hints and tips - Meet our current graduates and apprentices - You must be available 22nd, 23rd & 24th of July 2025 - You must live within a 40-mile radius of the Lloyd’s building and be able to travel to the building for all three days If you aren’t fully sure on what sector to go into, maybe Insurance can be a possible field to explore.

Work Experience Applications-Case Studies?
Hi guys, just wondering if anyone's got any tips for getting through the case study stage with applications? Anything specific, what stands out in a case study brief for an accounting work experience? Would really appreciate the help!

Any tips for gaining work experience during Year 12?
Hi everyone! I’m currently in Year 12 and I am really keen to secure some work experience this year, ideally in the media industry. I have been applying to opportunities I have found online, but haven’t had any luck so far. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to find opportunities, or any tips for reaching out to companies? I’d love to hear about any experiences you’ve had or any recommendations you might have. Thank you so much in advance!

Hi Sophie! I'm currently a Year 12 student too, and I had the same problem a few weeks ago. It seemed to me like all the applications for the big names were closed and everyone was so much more ahead! I solved this problem by reaching out to the early careers team at where you want to work, just try explaining your situation and requesting if there's any work experience. Most of the time, they'll detail upcoming work experience that you can sign up to be notified for, work experience that most likely isn't even visible on recruiting websites yet! If this still isn't effective, try looking for local opportunities in your area by directly contacting them. Any experience can be good experience!
