Summer Internship
How do you know if you’d like to start your career at Lloyd’s? Come and join us for a summer internship and find out for yourself. If you’re in your penultimate year of university you could get real experience on a live project, as well as insight into Lloyd’s and the entire global industry. All of which will put you in an excellent position should you decide to pursue a career in insurance by applying for one of our graduate programmes. Applications for the 2012 intake have now closed.
What will you experience?
Joining us for eight weeks between mid-June and mid-August, you’ll spend your time within the Corporation, based in a business area that currently recruits graduates. You’ll be a key member of your team, and will take on a project from start to finish, which will give you a great opportunity to see how Lloyd’s works in action.
What you actually do on your placement will vary depending upon the area which you join. In Underwriting Performance, for example, you could be working closely with managing agents in the market to evaluate their business plans. In Delegated Authorities, you could work across all areas of the department, and get involved in approving new coverholders. Elsewhere, you might be exploring trends in the claims that are made, or even developing a product such as ‘Regional Watch’ - a regularly published piece of research that gathers market intelligence for a number of territories worldwide. Whatever you do, you’ll be learning and building on your skills as you discover new areas of interest.
What next?
We want your summer internship to be worthwhile, so we’ll give you specific objectives to work towards, and at the end of the eight weeks we’ll review your progress to see how much you’ve achieved. An internship is particularly useful if you’re considering applying to one of our graduate programmes (although it’s not a prerequisite). As well as learning more about Lloyd’s, it will give you the chance to meet our people – including our current graduates and senior business managers. Impress us and (if you’re similarly impressed by us), we might offer you a guaranteed place on one of our graduate programmes for the following year, provided that you achieve a 2.1.
