Starting your career journey is an exciting milestone, and finding the right opportunities to develop your skills and gain valuable experience is essential.
At Legal & General (L&G), we are proud to offer a wide range of early careers programmes designed to support individuals at various stages of their professional development.
Our programmes are designed to help you build a strong foundation for your future career, with opportunities available across different locations and business areas. We provide inclusive and supportive environments where you can learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact.
1. Internship opportunities
Our Summer Internship Scheme at L&G is specially designed for penultimate year undergraduates looking to get a real feel for what a graduate career could look like.
Over eight immersive weeks, you’ll get the chance to try out the job, work on meaningful projects, and understand the impact you can make within our business.
Plus, if you shine during your internship and complete your degree, you might even have the opportunity to turn that experience into a full-time graduate role with us.
2. Graduate schemes
L&G’s graduate schemes are designed to set you up for long-term success and open doors to your future, with roles lasting between two to four years, depending on the business area.
What’s more, many of these roles include the opportunity to work towards a professional qualification, giving you not just experience but a credential that will boost your career.
When you join, you’ll kick off with our Future Talent induction, a vibrant welcome to L&G that introduces you to the company culture and connects you with fellow new starters.
3. Spring start programme
Our Spring start programme offers an exciting and unique opportunity, especially designed to welcome bright first-year undergraduates. This exclusive two-day event takes place at L&G’s central London offices and is all about introducing you to their inclusive culture and career possibilities.
Inclusion lies at the heart of everything we do; it shapes how we connect with customers, partners, and colleagues while driving positive change and a sustainable future.
During the event, you’ll meet inspiring professionals across the business, from senior leaders to recent graduates, including those in sustainability and diversity networks.
4. Year in industry placements
For university students taking a sandwich year as part of their degree, L&G’s Year in Industry placements offer an incredible 12 to 13-month opportunity to dive deep into the financial services sector.
Throughout your placement, you’ll collaborate with talented teams across various departments, gaining firsthand experience that complements your academic studies. You’ll see how different parts of L&G come together to create meaningful solutions for our customers and communities.
What’s more, successful placements often lead to a seamless transition into a graduate role once you finish your degree, making this placement a powerful launchpad for your career.
