We hope you enjoyed watching the series as much as we enjoyed helping to make it. But, if you've yet to start, you can still access all six episodes below.
Kennedys is proud to have again been a key part of another successful Claims Apprentice series, which showcased a depth of talent currently working in the insurance claims market, and we are looking forward to supporting the next series in 2023.
****************************************************************************************************************************************
Kennedys is committed to supporting and developing young talent in the insurance sector; the next generation of industry leaders.
So, we are proud to once again be a key partner in the Claims Apprentice initiative, having helped ensure that the inaugural 2019 series, and the follow-up in 2020, were so successful.
By putting our values centre stage, we empower our people to deliver the very best work and reach their full potential. Underpinning our values is our commitment to supporting the younger generation, through initiatives such as our own apprenticeship programme, which we operate across our legal and business services teams, and also in supporting the development of young talent in organisations for which we work.
Claims Apprentice, designed to unearth and help up-and-coming individuals working in the claims market, is an exciting initiative that resonates with these values, and in going that little bit further for our clients and the market, and one that we are very pleased to be in partnership with Insurance Post on once again.
This innovative six-episode video series, showcasing six young claims professionals completing tasks related to the insurance sector, is based on the BBC show ‘The Apprentice’. With insurance and claims deeply ingrained in every office globally, we are confident that the six finalists involved in this inaugural Claims Apprentice series will benefit from our knowledge of the market, standing them in good stead for their future career development.
The competition will see the finalists take on a variety of team-based and individual tasks, which will ultimately be judged by Kennedys' own Christopher Dunn, in the 'Lord Sugar' role.
And to top that off, the winner will receive an Apple Watch Series 7, Apple AirPods Pro and be crowned Claims Apprentice 2022!
You can find out more about what's involved, and how to apply, on the Insurance Post Claims Apprentice 2022 event site.
And watch this space for future developments.
Claims Apprentice 2022 will build on the success of previous years, acting as a springboard for young and emerging insurance talent. An engaging and fast-paced initiative, it’s something we’re really proud to be involved in. I look forward to closely following this year’s candidates on their journey.
Kennedys is committed to supporting and developing the younger generation of claims professionals in the insurance industry. This initiative complements our annual involvement with the British Insurance Awards (BIA), through our continued sponsorship of the ‘Young Achiever of the Year’ award category, and reinforces our dedication to the development of the next generation of leaders in the insurance sector. This also aligns with our own award-winning Apprenticeship programme.
