Welcome to our National Apprenticeship Week episode of the Journal Podcast. We take a look at insurance apprenticeships, early‑career pathways, and how real apprentices are building their futures in the profession. In this episode, we’ll explore what an insurance apprenticeship actually involves, how apprentices balance work and study, the skills they develop, and how quickly they make an impact. You’ll also hear why employers invest in apprentices, what makes a great apprenticeship experience, and honest advice for anyone considering this route.
