Alice Richardson, an intern in Group Internal Audit
Alice reflects on how her internship contributed to her career development:
"I’ve gained so much knowledge on audits and their processes, which has been invaluable for my career goal of becoming an accountant. It’s not just about technical skills—I’ve also learned problem-solving and adaptability, which will help me in any future role."
Raina Uppal, an intern with Legal & General Institutional Retirement (Investment Business Development)
Raina enjoyed diving into the technical world of insurance regulations and pensions.
"My project taught me how to conduct quantitative data analyses, present my findings as a research paper, and give oral presentations—all of which have helped me learn transferable skills, such as Excel modelling and writing research papers."
The diversity of roles and responsibilities ensures that every intern can explore different areas and uncover potential career paths they may not have considered before.
James Lambton, an intern in the Asset Management, Responsible Investment Strategy Team
"My role involved projects aligned with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), which is key to L&G’s investment strategy. I worked on initiatives like creating an ESG regulation tracker and contributing to an 'ESG Beginners' Guide.' These projects taught me not just about sustainable investing but how companies like L&G take action for a better future."
We actively encourage our interns to engage with its long-term sustainability goals, giving them the tools and freedom to explore these initiatives.
Brandy Opey, an intern in the Asset Management, Distribution
“Throughout the internship, I’ve worked on analysing three Multi-Index Funds through an ESG lens, looking at the exclusions they apply. Aside from this, I led a session on Climate Change, looking at how the Climate crisis is taking shape and the opportunities this presents for the business.”
Brandy’s advice to future interns? " Be genuinely curious. There is so much you will learn with genuine curiosity and asking questions. Additionally, put yourself forward and talk to people to create meaningful connections. I believe this makes you learn more and lets you have a better experience.

Ella Lucas, an intern in LGRI - PRT Technical Services
Ella shares how hands-on learning helped her grow:
"I started with no knowledge of pensions, but by the end, I could model pension valuations in Excel and present my work to senior team members. It was amazing to see how much I had learned and contributed in such a short time."
Through this experience, our interns gain confidence and technical expertise, positioning them for long-term success.
