We're in the top 100
I chose the apprenticeship route as I was keen to experience the working world first hand but still wanted to study, gain qualifications, and keep academically developing. An apprenticeship was the perfect opportunity for this as it offers that balance of work and study. I’m on the Risk and Compliance apprenticeship at RSA. I’m rotating around the three teams within Customer and Operational Risk Team (CORM). Getting to work with a wide range of inspiring people at RSA is one of the best parts of the apprenticeship.
