Better Decisions Begin with You

At Aon, we help organisations make better decisions. Through our expertise in Risk Capital and Human Capital, we help businesses navigate uncertainty, make confident decisions and achieve better outcomes for their people, clients and communities. As an early careers colleague, you'll play a role in solving real business challenges while learning from experts across our global organisation.

Launch Your Career in Broking

Aon is looking for penultimate-year students to join our Commercial Risk & Reinsurance Summer Internship Programme. You do not need to be an insurance expert on day one. Through our internship, you will learn how brokers help clients understand risk, navigate insurance and reinsurance markets, and make better decisions, that support resilience and growth.

You will build the skills, confidence and market knowledge needed to translate complex risk exposures into structured insurance programs and serve as a credible intermediary between clients and insurers.

What is Commercial Risk and Reinsurance

Commercial Risk

Aon’s Commercial Risk team helps organizations around the world identify, understand, and manage the risks that could impact their people, assets, and performance. We partner with clients across industries to design and deliver innovative risk and insurance solutions - from property and casualty to cyber and specialty risks - using data, analytics, and deep market insight to help them make better decisions and protect their business.

Reinsurance
Aon’s Reinsurance team works with insurance companies and other risk bearing organizations to design reinsurance and capital solutions that strengthen their balance sheets and support profitable growth. By combining analytical expertise, market knowledge, and global reach, we help clients transfer risk, access capital, and respond to emerging challenges such as natural catastrophes, climate risk, and changing regulatory environments.

What You Will Do

You’ll join either our Commercial Risk or Reinsurance team and support colleagues with research, analysis and the preparation of clear, accurate client and market materials. As your knowledge develops, you may help organise and review policy files, submissions and placement records, and contribute to account and renewal activity.

You’ll gain insight into the lifecycle of our business, including how risks are assessed, presented to the market and supported through placement and claims activity. During the internship, you will begin developing business communication and data and risk analysis skills, while learning how colleagues approach document review, exposure assessment and market analysis in a commercial environment.

We’ll give you meaningful responsibility with appropriate support. Over time, you will learn how colleagues coordinate workflows across teams and use AI-enabled tools alongside human expertise. You will also develop the judgement to translate business, client and risk context into relevant outputs before information is used to support recommendations or decisions.

Your Development

As an Aon Summer Intern, you will be enrolled onto our award-winning development programme. For 9 weeks you will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of insightful and interactive training and development activities in addition to your role. Here are the key elements of our 9-week Internship development programme:

• Induction. A great way for you to learn about Aon and our Story, meet and network with your fellow interns and Aon colleagues from across our business including senior leaders; technical and business training to equip you with skills and knowledge to help you in your role
• Aon Business focused project. Our interns are given a project to complete during the programme. You and your team of fellow interns will be tasked to research and help to find solutions for a real business challenge. At the end of the internship, there will be an opportunity for you to present your findings to a panel of Aon colleagues
• Feedback.When you start as an intern at Aon, you will have time with your line manager to discuss your goals and throughout your internship you will receive feedback and support

Your career beyond your Summer Internship

Our summer internship programme is designed as a potential first step towards a long-term career with us. Your performance during your internship may lead to an offer for a place on our graduate programme in the same business unit the following year. We encourage you to apply for an internship that aligns with your long-term interests and career ambitions.

Aon UK Internship Recruitment: What to Expect

We know applying for your first role can be exciting, and sometimes a little daunting. At Aon, we’re committed to making our recruitment process as transparent and supportive as possible. Here’s how our selection journey works, and what you can expect at each stage:

1. Application Review

• We process applications on a rolling basis, moving everyone forward as they complete each stage.
• Every application is carefully reviewed by our team (not by AI).
• Due to the high volume of interest, this stage can take up to two weeks.

2. Online Assessment

• We understand you want to put your best foot forward, so you’ll have 5 calendar days to complete the online assessment.
• If you need more time, just let us know as extensions are available.

3. Video Interview

• Preparation matters, so you’re granted up to 10 days (240 hours) from receiving your invitation to record and submit your video interview.
• Rest assured: Every video interview is reviewed by a real member of our recruitment team, not an AI system.
• You’ll typically hear back from us within 2-3 weeks after submitting your interview, though times may vary depending on the number of applications.

4. Assessment Centres

• Our assessment centres are held in person at the Aon location nearest to the area you applied for.
• Please note: As a result of receiving many applications, not everyone who completes a video interview will be encouraged to attend an assessment centre.
• Assessment centres usually run after Christmas, from mid-January.

• At the assessment centre stage, your CV and cover letter will be shared with hiring managers. This helps them get a fuller picture of you - but these documents are not used for initial screening.

What is Aon's guidance of the use of AI during the selection process?

As an innovative global leader, we recognise and embrace the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help job seekers be more efficient in their recruitment processes. In fact, Aon develops and implements innovative AI tools that support both associates and customers. You will use these tools as an Aon colleague when you become part of our team.

AI can be a helpful tool for researching Aon, preparing for interviews or refining your CV, it should support, not replace, your own thinking, judgement, skills and experiences. Any application materials you submit should accurately reflect your achievements, capabilities and potential.

We ask that you refrain from using AI when completing assessments or during live or pre-recorded interview processes, which will often include an in-person interview where the technology will not be available to you. Additionally, virtual or in-person interviews should not be recorded or transcribed.

At Aon, we foster a culture of inclusiveness, fairness and transparency. We expect all candidates to embrace these principles in every interaction with us.

Can I apply for more than one programme or role?

We ask candidates to submit one Early Carers application per recruitment cycle. We encourage you to explore our opportunities carefully and apply for the position or opportunity that best matches your skills, passions, and professional aspirations. This helps you focus on submitting your strongest application and ensures we can assess candidates fairly and efficiently.

If we believe another role at Aon matches your experience and aspirations more closely during recruitment, our team may present alternative opportunities.

If you're unsure which programme is right for you, we recommend reviewing the programme information on our careers site or attending one of our events before applying.

Top Tip: Choose the role you're most excited about, rather than treating a second application as a back-up option. We want to understand where your genuine interests lie and how you see your future career developing.

We’re here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions or need accommodations, just contact our team - [email protected]. Good luck, and we look forward to seeing what you can bring to Aon!
