LawCareers.Net and BPP masterclass: maximising your qualifying work experience

This session will leave you with a strategy for how best to acquire qualifying work experience (QWE) to be the lawyer you want to be.

QWE was designed in the hope that it would be more flexible and accessible than an old-style Legal Practice Course ‘training contract’. In this panel session, BPP will explore the range of work experience options which are available to prospective solicitors and how they can maximise their chances of securing QWE. The panel will include a range of both QWE providers and SQE students who are undertaking QWE and apprenticeships.  

The panellists are:

  • Lauren Cannon – director, In-House Legal Solutions
  • Olivia Collicott – flex trainee success manager, Flex Legal 
  • Andrea Gallo – HR manager, Accutrainee
  • Chloe Hayes – QWE trainee in BPP's social impact team (housing clinic), BPP University

This masterclass will be hosted by LawCareers.Net and Jonny Hurst, head of outreach and student recruitment and senior lecturer at BPP University. There will be time for questions at the end of the discussion.
