I was contemplating where to take my career and wanted a big change. That’s when a friend told me about the Graduate Leadership Programme. I applied and now here I am, still working at Aviva!
I’ve had so much freedom and space to do what I want here. When I mentioned to my mentor that I enjoy writing, she immediately made me project manager of the claims department monthly newsletter.
Every placement has been similar – my managers jump at the chance to give me more responsibility in the areas that most interest me. I’ve helped produce podcasts and I’ve been listened to on every rotation.
