About The Programme

A career at Marsh is limitless, with the potential for movement, international placements, continued investment and advancement. Throughout the Marsh Graduate Development Programme you will receive immediate commercial exposure and participate in a structured training and development programme to provide you with an intense and comprehensive introduction to the world of risk and insurance broking.

​​​​​​​Graduates begin the programme by attending an induction week in London where they learn about Marsh's organisational structure and strategic vision, as well as networking with senior leaders.

Over the course of the two years, graduates periodically come together to participate in an outcomes-driven, structured training and development programme which focuses on enhancing professional and leadership skills. Graduates will work towards a Senior Insurance Professional Qualification which involves completing the Advanced Diploma in Insurance (ACII) by the end of the two year programme.

Meet Our Graduates

"The role allows me to work on the accounts of large clients from all industry sectors. Since joining Marsh, I’ve received a fantastic balance of responsibility and support from my team.  Within six months I felt comfortable running with some of the team’s smaller risks and assisting some of the more senior members of the team with a number of our flagship accounts. I now have a number of my own accounts and feel that the independence I have been given from the start has enabled me to grow my technical knowledge."
