Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Listening to talks from guest speakers, working within teams to solve problems, practising pitching
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
The programme was really enjoyable. It’s important to note it also didn’t feel exclusive - I had no knowledge of the legal field as nobody in my family had even gone to university. I was able to get stuck in like everyone else
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, a better knowledge of legal processes, career paths, and general workplace etiquette.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It was clearly organised and the group work was always good. The final day there was an outside treasure hunt (I think) and that was a nice way to end things.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Though there was no direct mentorship from the program officers, we were connected with trainees who were so excited to share their experiences with us. They all connected with us, and we had practise interviews with them.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5

There were social activities planned, and people socialised at lunchtimes and after work
