Why Should you Consider an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a unique way to gain hands-on, real-world experience whilst learning as you go. Since joining Hayes Parsons I have managed to gain invaluable experience in the workplace as well as accelerated professional growth through being surrounded by experienced insurance professionals. After attending sixth form there was a big emphasis on going to university, however, an which apprenticeship allows you to work toward professional, applicable qualifications whilst earning in the process is a compelling alternative.

An apprenticeship at Hayes Parsons provides an excellent opportunity to work with and learn from likeminded individuals at all stages of their insurance careers, as well as gain a foothold into the world of work. The continued support provided whilst navigating the balance of working and studying, offers a great platform to grow both personally and professionally, coupled with the opportunities to progress within the firm in the future, as well as building vital relationships with others across the industry.   

An apprenticeship allows you to gain qualifications to progress your career while earning money. It’s a great introduction to life after school, integrating you into a new work environment where you gain independence but continue learning. I attended sixth form, sat my A-Levels, and was pushed toward university, despite being unsure of my career path and not needing a degree. This apprenticeship lets me earn a wage full-time students can’t while gaining priceless work experience from experienced employees.
