Meet Aoife, a graduate in Business Studies, Risk Management and Insurance Major

Why did you join Aon’s graduate programme?

I did my 8-month work placement with Aon in 2022, I really enjoyed it and got a bit of background to the different teams in Aon, so I had an idea which direction I wanted to go in and applied to the Global Clients team in Commercial Risk Solutions.

What did you enjoy most about the Aon graduate programme?

The best thing about the graduate programme is joining the company with a group of people you are all on the same boat as. It is also useful in the long run, joining with people from different departments we get to know what Human Capital and ACIA do, and if we have a question about either, we can ask one of the other graduates.

How would you describe the culture at Aon?

Everyone in Aon is very friendly, and always willing to help. When I first joined everyone made the effort to set up catch ups/coffees with us to tell us a bit about what they do, which made them very approachable when we were questioning something.

What’s next for you?

I finished the graduate programme in August, and since then I have been made Client Service Advisor. I continue to work on the Global Clients team, on the same clients that I had worked on throughout the year of the graduate programme.
