Overview
Completing various calculations for members (e.g. Spouse pension calcs, Triv comms etc) and also assisting in the drafting of technical reports such as funding valuations and principle factors. We worked on a group project from weeks 2 to 8 and presented our final presentation in front of other interns at the end of week 8. We also had weekly calls as an intern cohort allowing us to learn about other areas of the business.
Skills
I have increased my overall knowledge of the actuarial profession as well as developed my technical knowledge by completing various calculations. In addition I have become more proficient on excel and understand more actuarial related concepts. Having the opportunity to collaborate with peers on the group presentation and also getting to present the final product helps with develop skills such as public speaking, delegating tasks and working to deadlines.
Responsibilities
From my first day in office (we had 3 days training prior to this) I was given client work to complete as well as other responsibilities such as sending a weekly log and also being in charge of managing certain deadlines and chasing more senior colleagues when deadlines weren't being met.
Support & Guidance
Throughout the internship I had weekly meetings with my manager to check in and review my progress. I also worked with quite a few grads as they were delegating work to me. Everyone and anyone is willing to help you or answer your questions which made me feel very supported.
Culture
Everyone I met was really nice and welcoming. Most people will work from home 2/3 days a week which sometimes makes it difficult to meet everyone/get to know people more.
Your Impressions
Overall I loved my internship and found the 9 weeks passed really quickly. A highlight was getting the experience of working in a corporate setting, networking with partners and other senior colleagues and gaining more technical knowledge.
Yes
Start your application early as like most internship schemes spaces are competitive. Also they offer about 70%-80% of interns a graduate role for the following year so that could be something to consider.
