This week is #NationalApprenticeshipWeek 2024, the 17th annual celebration of the value, benefits and opportunities that apprenticeships offer to individuals, businesses, and the wider economy.
This year’s theme, “Skills for Life”, encourages people to consider how apprenticeships allow individuals to develop the skills, knowledge and experience to build a rewarding career, and aid businesses in developing their workforce’s skills to equip them for the future.
To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, UKGI Learning Solutions have released a new course to support new entrants in developing skills and knowledge key to insurance broking:
⭐Insurance Broking- The Essentials!⭐
The insurance industry has long struggled to entice and retain new recruits to replenish a retiring workforce. It also needs to attract those with diverse skillsets and innovative approaches to aid the sector in navigating changes, such the proliferation of AI and technology.
Apprenticeships have been invaluable, allowing fresh talent the opportunity to access the industry, gain the skills and knowledge needed to progress and providing a clear career path with continuous training opportunities, highlighting that a role in insurance is not just a job, but a profession which offers the prospect of ongoing progression and development.
We are celebrating Apprenticeships by widening our offering to support and nurture both new entrants to the industry and existing employees looking to boost their skills and experience.
The new ‘Insurance Broking- The Essentials’ course caters for those new to insurance broking and provides a key, foundational knowledge of; the role and its functions, the sale of insurance products and services to clients, legal features of the broker-client relationship, and conduct and culture within insurance broking. It also provides an outline of the eight core competencies set out by the FCA.

6moMet one of the Talent division team, from Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP), last night at Lorain County Community College's Insurance Career Fair. He shared with me some details about their Insurance Apprenticeship program. If you have apprenticeship opportunities, and haven't already, reach out to GCP and make the connection. From my understanding they are working with Northeast Ohio higher education institutions to connect our students with insurance industry employers.
