Insurance through the eyes of our future minds

Nurturing young talent and showcasing a pathway for progression is vital for piquing the interest of employees in their formative years. But attracting those whose careers are yet to begin is a different ball game.

For 16-year-old Izzy Joy, her career options range as wide as the alphabet, though a career in insurance may just be the ticket. 

“Insurance really wasn’t what I thought it was going to be when I first came and I didn’t know what to expect.” After spending a week with Pro MGA Global Solutions, Izzy’s eyes have opened wide to the board spectrum of roles that sit within our industry. “It’s made me realise that I really do enjoy insurance and it’s much more broad and varied than I thought it would be.”

The week saw Izzy move across departments, working and shadowing various different roles within the company, and even included a visit to the Lloyd’s building and a trip to the MGAA 2024 Annual Conference.

“Attending the MGAA conference really helped to develop my knowledge of all that insurance entails. Getting the chance to attend client meetings that focused on business development, understanding more about the media and advertisement branch of Pro MGA, talking to and understanding the job roles for different members of the team, as well as participating in a vlog, made for a really enjoyable experience.”

But insurance is just policies, claims and renewals, isn’t it? 

“This week has really helped me to realise that having a work and social balance is possible and this has been created here at Pro MGA. I also enjoyed the experience of being able to build relationships, and network within the insurance industry, surrounded by the best group of people. Everyone in the team was happy to answer any of my questions and were extremely welcoming. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to do my work experience here.”

There was even time for a game of crazy golf for Izzy and the team.

At Pro MGA Global Solutions, we’re keen to show the future workforce that insurance is a creative space, where individualism and ideas are welcome. The industry is moving at a rapid pace thanks to technology, and innovative minds will only help to continue that momentum. 

“I got a great insight into the realm of insurance and was able to start to discover how insurance really works. Thank you to the team at Pro MGA!”.

Thank you to Izzy too, for her enthusiasm, hard work and dedication. We hope to see Izzy, and many others like her, enter our world of opportunity.
