University of Law Springboard Programme

Please see below information on the University of Law Springboard Programme, in partnership with Aspiring Solicitors. This is a fantastic opportunity for any students looking to pursue a career in law and will offer invaluable advice and guidance on obtaining vacation schemes and training contracts.

The programme commences in June with sessions delivered by legal experts including former practising solicitors and recruitment managers, together with partners and senior associates responsible for graduate recruitment from some of the UK’s leading law firms. The events will take place at the University of Law’s London, Birmingham and Manchester centres and will offer insight, mentoring and skills coaching for up to 600 students looking to launch their career in the legal services profession.

The sessions will include targeted application and assessment advice, interview techniques, practical advice geared at developing overall professionalism and a commercial awareness session delivered by commercial awareness expert and author, Chris Stoakes.

A series of networking events will offer participants the opportunity to meet with professionals across the legal spectrum, boosting their career opportunities and putting them one step ahead of their competitors in the recruitment process. Law firms will also benefit from being the first to meet emerging talent and spot bright young legal stars of tomorrow before they enter the wider market.

 

The first events will take place at the ULaw’s centre in Manchester on 22 June 2015, at the Birmingham centre on 26 June 2015 and at the ULaw Moorgate centre in London on 30 June 2015.
