Tyro Lawyer 16 -18 Mentoring Programme


    

THE TYRO LAWYER 16 -18 Mentoring Programme 

The Tyro Lawyer mentoring programme for students in 6th form or college (16- 18 year olds) is meant to connect young people to legal professionals who will provide guidance and support to students as they begin their journeys in this profession. 

Through 1-1 online meetings twice a month and for three months, mentees will have the opportunity to interact with a legal professional and learn from someone who has 'been there, done that and got the tee-shirt'. 

 
 

OBJECTIVES

  • To improve access to the legal profession for students in the west midlands
  • To improve access to mentors and credible role models for identified students interested in a career in law
  • To help develop employability skills to successfully complete applications for university, apprenticeships and work experience, v for identified students


HOW IT WORKS

Once paired, mentors will meet virtually with their mentees twice monthly for 1 hour, to discuss career ambitions, provide advice and direction, assist with UCAS and apprenticeship application drafting, whatever is needed.

Each pairing is for a period of 3 months. 


Applications for the Tyro Lawyer 16 -18 Mentoring programme for are now open. 

 

Closing date for all applications: Friday 20th September 2024.


We reserve the right to close this application cycle early if we receive sufficient applications from suitable students. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.
