Interesting email from Colleen McGuinness Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce
Well, I have been busting to tell you and now I can.........MMU will be delivering the training for the Legal Services apprenticeship (formerly known as the Paralegal apprenticeship) level 3. The successful candidates will be registered as a student of MMU for the 18 – 24 months it takes to gain this qualification, attending the School of Law for their training. They will also gain a 60 credit University law qualification in addition to the L3 programme. The students will have access to all the facilities that regular students access; they will also be eligible for a NUS card. We have agreed a salary of £12,000.00 pa in the first year. This is a wonderful opportunity for young people who would like a career in Law but are put off by the debt!
We believe this is a first and that the North West is leading the charge (no change there then!).
Application forms can be found on Blackpool Sixth Moodle page in the FYi Futures section.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
