Aegon is partnering with Women Returners to launch their very first Returner Programme. If you’re ready to return to work in the Technology sector after a career break and you’re actively looking for your next challenge, then the Aegon’s Tech Returner Programme could be your answer.
This is a tailored 6-month programme, with potential opportunities for permanent employment at the end of the programme, for those who are keen to restart their career in Technology.
Why Aegon?
