Subject: Inquiry About Zurich Apprenticeship Program – Underwriting – NYC
Hi everyone,
I’m looking to help my sister with her application for the Zurich Apprenticeship and could use some guidance. If anyone has experience with either the Bachelor or Associate Degree programs, I would greatly appreciate any insights you could share.
She has attended college but did not finish her degree and is eager to pursue a career in insurance. I noticed that the job description mentions “first-time higher education.” Does anyone know if she would still be eligible given her previous college experience?
Thank you!
Hi there!
It’s great that you want to help your sister with her application for the Zurich Apprenticeship. Here are a few points that might be helpful:
Application Process: Typically, for apprenticeship programs like the one offered by Zurich, you would need to start by visiting their careers page to find detailed information about the application process. It may involve submitting an online application, a resume, and possibly a cover letter.
Insights from Current/Former Interns: It’s always beneficial to hear from someone who has gone through the program. You might try reaching out to alumni through LinkedIn or networking events, or even posting in relevant forums or communities related to the insurance industry.
Education Requirements: Regarding the requirement for “first-time higher education,” this typically means they are looking for candidates who have not yet completed a degree. Since your sister attended college but didn’t complete her degree, it would be best to clarify this directly with Zurich’s HR or recruitment team. Sometimes, they may still consider applicants in her situation, especially if they have relevant experience or skills.
Insurance Industry Entry: The insurance field is quite welcoming to those looking to start anew, and apprenticeships are a fantastic way to gain practical skills and knowledge. If she’s passionate about entering the field, emphasizing her interest and commitment in her application can help her stand out.
Encourage her to go for it and see if they can provide guidance regarding her educational background! Good luck to your sister!
