The aim of the virtual work experience programme is to widen access to legal work experience and provide a unique insight into law and Kennedys. The programme gives students the opportunity to complete legal work experience virtually, completing real life tasks created by Kennedys’ trainees and apprentices.
Throughout the programme, students will gain legal analytical skills, develop legal knowledge of the insurance industry, and learn critical legal communication, research, and drafting skills that will help set them up for their future career in law.
There are four tasks to complete from each of their core practice areas of insurance, liability, healthcare and commercial.
The programme takes around six hours and can be completed at students’ own pace. Once complete, students will receive a certificate that they can reference on their CV. The programme is free and open to all students and graduates, from a law or non-law background and no legal experience is required.
As the programme is virtual, the work experience can be completed at students’ own pace from any location. Click here for more information.
