As the new season of graduate schemes have recently opened I thought it would be useful to pull together some key statistics so potential members (including myself!) could compare the various opportunities available. If people (preferably new graduates who have secured a place onto a scheme starting this year) could add some details about the following we might be able to produce a pretty good guide for new members: - Number of study days - Holiday entitlement - Qualification expectations, i.e. is there a time limit? - Starting salary - Any other relevant assitance associated with qualifying, i.e. in-house tutorials etc I'm aware that the Institute website ( http://www.actuaries.org.uk/files/pdf/careers/employers.pdf ) has a pdf on employers with various details, however, the more important stats us new members are eager to know are missing. Thanks, all contributions will be greatly appreciated.
You might find the student page in The Actuary this month helpful to get a feel for the variation in study packages: http://www.the-actuary.org.uk/pdfs/06_10_students.pdf
