Client Blog: Seymours Team News – Emily joins as our first Legal Apprentice


As part of our commitment to give aspiring professionals practical, relevant training and experience, and to support the government’s apprenticeship initiative, we have taken on our first Legal Apprentice.
Emily Ward started taking ‘A’ levels at her local college, but found that she wasn’t enjoying the experience. A friend had chosen to pursue an apprenticeship, and explained how interesting and engaging it was.
Inspired, Emily decided to approach LMPQ Apprenticeship Academy, and with their help commenced a 1 year Legal Administration Apprenticeship.
Emily then decided to change her Apprenticeship, swapping to the Paralegal option (through Birmingham Metropolitan Colleges – BMet), and successfully gained a place at Seymours! Emily loves the combination of days spent working in the office and others spent studying in college.
“Everyone at Seymours has been so kind and welcoming – I feel as if I’ve settled in really quickly” Emily commented.

Client Blog: Bursaries and Incentives on Offer to Attract Trainee Teachers

Image
A recent article in the Guardian stated that “ Schools are in crisis. With plummeting teacher training applications and difficulties in recruiting enough staff to fill vacancies, tuition fees, unacceptable workloads and budget cuts have all been blamed for the current shortage”. However, there is light on the horizon! It is actually a great time to join the profession, with the Government and a range of innovative organisations finding ways to make teacher training much more appealing. As its most basic level, all teacher training courses include time spent training in at least two schools and lead to qualified teacher status (QTS).
