Emerging Talent Programme (No degree required)

The Emerging Talent Programme has been created to develop a pipeline of the right people, with the right skills in the right places.  

Building on the success of previous initiatives, the programme is the perfect platform for you to grow in your career. You’ll be given the opportunities and support you need to develop yourself with the right skills for your own development, and Admiral’s future growth. 

You might not know what direction you want your career to take yet, which is why we offer you the freedom to explore. You will undertake four six-month placements over two years, in areas of the business aligned to your interests and business demand. If you perform well, you will exit the programme into a fixed role in one of our strategy or growth areas.  

Upon starting, you’ll be part of our emerging talent pool – meaning you’ll progress through the programme with a cohort of other talented people with a variety of experiences and backgrounds. You’ll have an opportunity to learn from each other and build a strong network across the business. 

If you have a degree, please apply for our Graduates stream here. If you don't please continue on this page.

• You will be empowered to drive your own career, development, and personal growth. 
• Previous departments explored by colleagues have included: Product, Digital, IT, Automation, Claims, Underwriting, Marketing and Risk amongst others.
• To drive your own performance and learning – you’ll receive support, but the programme is challenging, and you’ll be expected to champion your own development.

What are we looking for?
