Building skills for life at L&G: Hear from our apprentices

Posting date: 29 Jan 2026

 

Every apprentice arrives at L&G with different expectations and ambitions, but many describe a similar experience once they begin. From day one, they’re learning by doing, building confidence, and developing skills that extend far beyond their role; skills they’ll carry throughout their careers, and in life.

With National Apprenticeship Week 2026 underway, we spoke to some of the apprentices across L&G who joined us in 2025. 


They share how handson learning, responsibility and supportive teams have helped them grow, discover new strengths and shape their futures.


Why I chose an apprenticeship at L&G

“I’ve always been fascinated by technology, and an apprenticeship felt right because I learn best through real experience. I chose L&G because it’s supportive, innovative and invests in developing apprentices.” Milene, Cyber Security 

“Seeing L&G open the Calon office in Cardiff made me want to be part of a company investing in my hometown. It felt meaningful to work somewhere committed to growing the local community.” Anil, Finance

“I learn best by doing. I wanted real experience, real responsibility, and the chance to contribute to meaningful work from day one, and L&G genuinely invests in early talent.” Amelia, Data Apprentice

“It allows me to learn while working at the same time. Being able to put learning into practice really benefits me because I learn through doing.” Tina, Data Apprentice 

Unique experiences 

“I get to rotate across different areas of security- from the SOC to Vulnerability Management and Information Security. It means everything I study becomes far more meaningful as I can see how it works in practice.” 

Billy, Security Apprentice

Developing skills

Did you know? Apprentices on L&G’s data programme have consistently achieved strong outcomes. The most recent cohort to complete (2023) achieved a 64% distinction rate, compared to a national average of 33.9% for the same qualification. Welsh learners are not included as the pass classifications are different. 

“My communication and confidence have grown massively through working with different teams and real business scenarios.” 

Milene, Cyber Security

Surprising moments

“I didn’t expect to have so much ownership so early on. Within months, I was running reporting processes and improving workflows the business relies on.” 

Amelia, Data Apprentice

Learning about yourself

“I’ve learned how to juggle work, study and life at the same time. Every step, whether passing exams or taking on new challenges, becomes part of the foundation for future success.” 

Anil, Finance Apprentice
