Fantastic to hear that so many colleagues found @Mayer_Brown_UK 's social inclusion panel event valuable; highlighting how social mobility affects us throughout our professional lives. Thank you to my fellow panelists Chloe, Mark and Jim, and to Sally Davies for hosting.

And the final one...

5) NETWORKING AND CONTACT-BUILDING

With the apprenticeship programme being 6 years long, we have a fantastic opportunity to network and get to know everyone within the firm, as well as contacts outside of the firm, through frequent socials and other events.

4) NO TUITION FEES

As apprentices our university tuition fees are taken care of by the Government’s apprenticeship levy, meaning that we finish the programme free from student debt!

3) LEARN FROM THE BEST

As apprentices at a top law firm, we are able to spend our apprenticeship learning from, and being trained by, some of the best partners and associates in the City!

2) EARN WHILE YOU LEARN

University students often find themselves regularly dipping into an overdraft or a maintenance loan whilst they’re studying, whereas apprentices are able to earn (and save) from the very start of the programme.

Let’s start...

1) EXPERIENCE

The Solicitor Apprenticeship programme is 6 years long, as opposed to 2 years for the training contract. At @Mayer_Brown_UK, we spend 5 of those years in legal practice departments. This means we get lots of experience in different areas of law.

We’re halfway through #nationalapprenticeshipweek, and so I thought that I would share with you a series of tweets highlighting my top 5 benefits of the Solicitor Apprenticeship programme...

[Work law. Study law. @WorklawStudylaw]

A great insight into the stories of those who often go unheard.

For those wondering what our degree during an apprenticeship looks like, it is broken down into termly written exams and a portfolio of our workplace product to show our professional development. Pleased to be turning in this term’s portfolio entries today!

At Tuesday's law fair we were asked if Apprentices still have a social life. Yes, we do. Excited that Mayer Brown isn’t letting Covid get in the way of our Christmas choir. I'm leading a new global, virtual project and can’t wait to share the final video. Have a great day, Esther

Wondering what a legal apprentice does? I work 4 days and have one study day a week for the academic element, which is delivered by @BPPGroup. A study day typically involves prep work, followed by an online workshop. Today’s topic is land-based torts!! Chris
