I started my Pro Career in a risk entry role in the Underwriting Support department where I spent five years of my six years at Pro. Alongside working in the technician role I also studied for the CII exams (certificate level) which were funded by Pro to gain more knowledge of the insurance industry. I learned a lot in this role and was added into a programme to tackle some of Pro’s issues in a project forum. This was my first insight into project management and as I am an ambitious person, Pro funded a project management course for me to do. Later that year, I successfully achieved the role of Project Manager and moved into a completely new department, I have a great support structure which should allow me to increase my knowledge within the company.
Pro have many great benefits especially the colleagues around the company. It is a good place to start your career as I did with good support structures but it is also a challenging experience which you can take with you in your future career.
