Participants of the AIA Internship 2024 will be introduced to the insurance industry, learn how AIA’s digital assets increase advisors’ productivity, and be mentored by a financial services manager.

Beyond a monthly internship allowance, top performers will be recognised with rewards and a letter of recommendation from AIA.
