What is Set for Success?
Set for Success is a six week Employer-led Skills Programme for Law Students providing workshops which give an insight into the skills that employers are seeking in the legal sector.
These specialised skills workshops help students build their professional skills which are required across all sectors.
Each 1-hour interactive workshop will provide students with the opportunity to meet employers while learning about topics such as commercial awareness, networking, and legal communication skills.
Please note: Only students who attend a minimum of four of the six sessions, as well as complete the related assignment will qualify for the Certificate in Set For Success.
