Minister for Employment with responsibility for Training, Apprenticeships and Skills, the Hon Christian Santos GMD MP met with the latest cohort of insurance apprentices at the start of their induction.
The programme, now in its fifth cycle, continues in partnership with the Gibraltar Insurance Institute led by Nicholas Pecino. It forms part of Minister Santos’ wider upskilling strategy to equip participants with the knowledge and practical experience needed to progress in the insurance sector.
Seven applicants successfully completed the application and interview process to secure a place this year. They will begin work placements across Gibraltar’s insurance industry where they will earn a salary, gain hands-on experience, receive mentorship and work towards industry qualifications, including preparation for the Insurance, Legal and Regulatory (IF1) examination over the coming year.
Minister Santos said: “I am delighted to see another group of motivated young people taking the first step toward a career in such a relevant and fast-moving field. My thanks to the Gibraltar Insurance Institute and to its President, Nicholas Pecino, for continued collaboration and leadership. I also extend my gratitude to the placement providers for supporting this initiative and offering valuable opportunities. This apprenticeship remains an important part of my commitment to supporting education, workplace skills and meaningful career pathways for young people across several industries.”
