Apprenticeships: Building skills for life at L&G
Every apprentice arrives at L&G with different expectations and ambitions, but many describe a similar experience once they join. From day one, they’re putting theory into practice, building confidence, and developing skills that provide long-term career foundations.
With National Apprenticeship Week 2026 underway, we spoke to some of our apprentices across L&G who shared how hands‑on learning, real responsibility and supportive colleagues have helped them grow, discover new strengths and shape their futures.
Why choose an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships offer practical experience and the opportunity to earn, learn and grow in a supportive environment.
Kishan, a Tech apprentice, working towards his Level 6 degree apprenticeship, believes L&G’s focus on culture and people, makes it a great environment to work in: “L&G's reputation speaks for itself and choosing an apprenticeship was an easy decision for me. Working within a team that has control over a platform is exciting. I’ve been trusted early on to deliver live changes."
Develop lifelong skills
Apprenticeships help individuals build a strong foundation of transferrable skills, as well as technical ones, that last well beyond their programme. From communication and teamwork, to problem solving, resilience and confidence, apprentices feel prepared for whatever opportunities come next.
Milene, a Cyber Security apprentice, is proud of the progress she’s made: "My communication skills and confidence have grown massively because I’m working with different teams on real business scenarios. It hasn’t always been easy, but the growth is worth it. There’s far more to learn and get involved in than I ever imagined."
A unique learning experience
What sets an apprenticeship apart is the combination of real responsibility and structured development which immerses apprentices into the workplace from day one.
Afeez, a Data Apprentice in Asset Management believes his experience is unique because of the exposure he gets to broad sets of tools and business areas as part of his programme: “The team is highly innovative and embraces a wide tech stack to build efficient, user friendly solutions for stakeholders across the business. From HTML and Python to SQL, Power Automate and more, the variety of technologies creates a rich learning environment that’s hard to find elsewhere”.
Building confidence through contribution
Apprenticeships offer the chance to work alongside experienced colleagues, taking on responsibilities that matter. They can see the impact of their efforts first hand and feeling trusted by their team encourages them to share ideas which lead to meaningful contributions.
Kayi, a Data Apprentice in Cardiff feels grateful for the support she’s received: “Everyone around me is so supportive and this really exceeded my expectations! As part of my programme I’ve had to work on my presentation skills because my role involves presenting work to stakeholders. With the right support and plenty of feedback and practice, I have become much more confident”.
Apprenticeships are transforming the way people begin and build their careers. Apprenticeship life at L&G is fast‑paced, offering hands-on experience and structured development and support.
For many, the most valuable outcomes aren’t just qualifications or experience, but the confidence to speak up, the ability to adapt, and the skills to balance work, learning and life. As these apprentices continue to grow, the skills they’ve built here will support them wherever their careers take them next.
