Merlin : supports CILA’S new internship programme

0 0

Merlin has been selected by the Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters (CILA) to support its newly launched internship programme. 

Merlin will be providing a paid summer placement to one of six undergraduates selected by the CILA, the Financial Skills Partnership and loss adjusters.

Merlin’s intern will receive a comprehensive induction to gain an understanding of the industry and the services the company provides, including loss adjusting, building surveying, subsidence, liability and the Merlin contractor network.  The undergraduate will also be given a business project to deliver for the senior management team.  Merlin’s plans for its intern include coaching them to apply their skill sets to the commercial environment, supporting them in linking their studies to the business world.

Merlin welcomes the initiative from the CILA and the opportunity to engage in this way with the graduate community to encourage new, young talent to consider loss adjusting as a career.

Malcolm Hyde, CILA Executive Director explains: “Many loss adjusting companies competed for the six places available to support the CILA internship programme.  Merlin was selected because they surpassed our expectations with their offerings and plans for an intern.”

Val Barlow, Head of Employee Development at Merlin comments: “Merlin is passionate about identifying and supporting the adjusters of tomorrow and the CILA internship, along with our internal employee development programmes, demonstrate our commitment to the future of this profession.  We are proud to be one of the CILA’s selected companies and see this as a testament to our commitment to develop the knowledge and skill sets of all our staff, through structured and challenging programmes.”
