“I had heard of apprenticeship programs for individuals in the trades, but not for individuals in a corporate environment. I knew right away this was the right opportunity for me. … After the first week, I could see that the Apprenticeship Program was designed for me to succeed.”

Justin Williams — Zurich Construction property underwriter assistant and apprentice graduate

“Before the apprentice program, I worked full time and went to school at night and on weekends. The program allowed me to spend more time with my son while giving me the foundation to build my career. It also gave me the opportunity to participate in a project where I earned an Impact Award. I’m beyond grateful.”

Noelia Salgado — Zurich international service specialist and apprentice graduate

“Zurich’s Apprentice Program gave me exposure to an industry that I never would have explored otherwise.”

Dane Lyons — Zurich underwriting services specialist, apprentice graduate, Navy veteran, and an apprentice alumni adviser

“The cyber apprenticeship has allowed me to develop a new set of in-demand skills and real-life experience that I would not be able to generate by solely attaining a degree.”
