This is not just a fantastic resource👇to support meaningful conversations at City Century LIVE but also as Patrick McCann says: an opportunity to try out simulated work that will help you decide whether this is the right career for you. It is so clear which applicants for solicitor apprenticeships have spent additional time completing virtual work experience like Forage because they are able to speak confidently about: - why they want to be a solicitor. - which practice areas they are already interested in and why. - being open minded (many applicants talk about thinking they enjoyed one type of law until they discovered another that really surprised them). - what the apprenticeship work actually looks like with examples. … and… - can bring more to the interview conversation than simply what a firm’s website says. - how their passion for law is demonstrated in going above and beyond to properly research it and get a genuine feel for the work. It helps to show an informed commitment to becoming a solicitor and that, for any Early Careers team, is GOLD 💛 #workexperience #legalcareers #solicitorapprenticeships
Continuing our series of posts about the upcoming City Century Live! events in London, Manchester and Newcastle... ❓ Have you seen the question in the sign-up form for our City Century Live! events asking if students have completed the Forage exercise on the City Century website? Check out QUESTION 3 in the sign-up form here 👇🏾👇🏿👇🏼 🔗https://lnkd.in/e3gYJRCA Why do we ask this question? It's because the law firms at the City Century Live! events are looking forward to meeting Year 12 and Year 13 students who have a good understanding of the types of law that they do, and the types of work that a solicitor apprentice might do in the teams in those law firms. The City Century solicitor apprenticeship virtual simulation by Forage is a great way to gain this understanding. With no cost. And no set due date. We love to see students share their completion certificates on LinkedIn when you tag City Century to let us know you have completed the exercise! 🎉 It isn't a gimmick or a virtual reality game; it is the chance to complete some work that an *actual* solicitor apprentice might work on, and see what you think. Warning! It isn't easy and it isn't meant to be! Are you up for the challenge? To set yourself apart in your chats with employers at the City Century Lives? You can access the exercise here on the Forage website 👇🏽 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ev6YNaF7 👀 NOTE TO EMPLOYERS! The City Century Project Team is regularly updated by the Forage team on the statistics of how many students are doing the exercise. Jo H was pleased to hear last Friday that: ✔️92% of the 1,432 students that have enrolled on the City Century simulations so far are from state schools; AND ✔️understanding of the role of a solicitor apprentice jumped from 32% understanding before the exercise to 90% after completing it. 3️⃣2️⃣% understanding jump to 9️⃣0️⃣% understanding - WOW. Thanks Forage! #SolicitorApprenticeships #CityCenturyLive! Eva Fine Jack Skinner Nicole McCallum Joanna Hughes Patrick McCann
