Success in Apprenticeships 

 

A number of Heathcote's Sixth Form pupils have been successful in gaining higher and advanced level apprenticeships.

 

Student 4Mohammed

Mohammad secured a three year apprenticeship with Aon Insurance in partnership with Lloyds of London, one of the City’s most prestigious insurance and reinsurance firm. He receives an £18,000 starting salary and benefits package along with pension contributions. He will train to become a qualified insurance broker with his professional qualifications paid for by Aon. This opportunity was gained through his visit to MS Amlin, where he is currently is undergoing mentoring with an Insurance Executive, and he will participate in a six week paid work placement programme over the summer holidays.
