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 Aviva Tech Returner Programme could be the answer. After successfully running a returner programme within the Aviva Investors business for three years, Aviva is now thrilled to offer a similar programme in its Technology teams.

The Aviva Tech Returner Programme is for those who’ve had an extended career break of two or more years. This is a tailored six-month programme, with potential to transition to a permanent role, for those who are keen to restart their career in Technology.

A returner from the Aviva Investors 2021 programme said:

“The training we received gave us the tools to re-enter the workplace more confident and empowered. Transitioning back to work is not easy, however this programme gave me the opportunity to share the journey amongst a pool of very smart and talented women, who provided invaluable support throughout the process.”
