Our CEO Kristof Terryn and Zurich IT apprentice Aaron Henry took a few minutes to chat about the Chicago Apprentice Network’s celebration of 2,000 apprenticeships created in Chicagoland. #Apprenticeship #Insurance

Celebrating 2,000 apprenticeships created across Chicagoland! Since 2017, the Chicago Apprentice Network has grown from three founding companies — Zurich, Aon and Accenture — to more than 110 companies building their future-ready workforce and empowering new talent with the help of apprenticeship. We celebrated the 2k milestone at Accenture’s Chicago headquarters with our CEO Kristof Terryn, our Executive Sponsor of Apprenticeship Al Crook, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Brent Parton, Accenture Senior Managing Director Beth Marrion, Aon Chairman of the Board Lester B. Knight and the undisputed stars of the stage, Zurich apprentice Aaron Henry, Aon apprentice graduate Gabriela Caballero and Accenture apprentice graduate John Williams. The network model has spread to other cities now too, helping more companies and more individuals discover the value of apprenticeship. “We’ve just barely scratched the surface,” Kristof said. We look forward to celebrating the next milestone! #Apprenticeship #Insurance
