We run three solicitor apprenticeships programmes for a range of graduates and non graduates, every six months in line with SQE1 assessments.  \nWe are very excited about the opportunities that these schemes give both employers and individuals, and you will read more about the benefits later. The College already supports over 40 employers with their apprenticeship programmes.  \nThis pack provides the key facts around the programmes to help you and your apprentice make an informed decision on whether to partner with the College as your training provider.  \nOur programmes build on our very successful 40-week SQE preparation courses, with assessments and coaching support from trained and experienced tutors.  \nWe are looking forward to working closely with you, to invest time and care in ensuring that your apprenticeships thrive in their workplace and pass the SQE assessments.  \nI hope you find this pack informative, and please get in touch if we can assist in setting up your apprenticeship programme.  \nDr Giles Proctor  \nCEO, The College of Legal Practice  \nWHAT’S INSIDE  \n1. Why have an Apprenticeship Programme? p.04  \n2. The College’s Apprenticeship Programmes p.07  \n3. Programme Options p.10  \n4. Meet our Coaches p.11  \n5. Ten Steps to setting up an Apprenticeship Programme p.13  \n6. Collaborating with you p.15  \n7. About Us p.16  \nKayleigh Jones  \nGraduate Solicitor Apprentice The College of Legal Practice  \n“I’m currently finding the apprenticeship and studying for the SQE challenging, rewarding, surprising.”  \n“The College has been able to provide me with alot of support and assistance throughout, and I think that is the most important part. The challenge is on me to make sure that I can learn and retain the legal knowledge, but having that support network makes it ten times easier.”  \nWHY HAVE AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME?  \nSQE Funding for the employer  \nFor apprentices under the age of 22 at the start of their programme funding is available. Large employers can draw down 100% of the funding for the programme through the Apprenticeship Levy, making this an efficient way to bring in future solicitors in a sustainable way for your business. This funding channel is unique and can be put towards the full apprenticeship programme costs that includes training, coaching and SQE1 & 2 assessment costs, including one re-sit for SQE1.  \nAnd great news for smaller employers too, they can receive up to 95% of their apprenticeship programme costs from the government, even if they do not pay the Levy.  \nIncreased likelihood of passing the SQE  \nWe are seeing that students who are preparing for longer for the SQE are getting better results.  \nThe apprentice programmes carefully cover every aspect of qualification. The candidates have a structured preparation pathway towards taking the SQE1 and SQE2, each over a oneyear period. In addition to personal supervision, they receive discrete coaching to support their confidence and progression, and meet the requirements of QWE .  \nThis pathway works brilliantly to ensure aspiring lawyers gain all the necessary preparation, the skills and qualifications required to move into the solicitor profession, with additional support to meet their goals.  \n4  \nEmployer’s Guide: Solicitor Apprenticeships  \nRetention and Progression  \nYour application process for apprenticeships is set up much like a training contract, with a clear programme and expectations for employment, training and progression to become a solicitor. Apprentices are unlikely to enter the programmes without a firm intention of completing it.  \nThe apprentices have the benefit of extensive apprentice support to limit the chance of apprentices dropping out due to personal challenges. Coaching is provided to meet apprentice needs both academic and wellbeing, allowing any concerns tobe addres","cbCaibJZpSHsCMZe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibJZpSHsCMZe","pdf",3282443,16,"English","# Why have an Apprenticeship Programme?\n## SQE Funding for the employer\n## Increased likelihood of passing the SQE\n## Retention and Progression\n## Improving access and social mobility\n## Delivering value for your clients","[{\"question\":\"How does SQE funding work for employers and apprentices under 22?\",\"answer\":\"For apprentices under the age of 22 at the start of the programme, funding is available.
