Great Counsel: Young people from Key4Life meet lawyers and volunteer mentors at Linklaters.
Key4Life is the newest member of the Tom's Trust family of London youth organisations - recently winning funding for the Behaviour Change pillar of their 'At Risk' programme. The project provides support and positive pathways for ex-offenders, primarily in the Hammersmith and Fulham area.
In December last year they got together with our first and founding partner, Linklaters, the large law firm where Tom worked, for a day of workshops, CV writing, interview practice, talks and inspiration.
Organised by Linklaters' brilliant Corporate Responsibility team and resourced by volunteers from across multiple departments at the firm.
After the event young people from Key4Life said:
" The Mock interviews were very useful; it was good to get more practice and think about specific skills”
“Seeing the Linklaters working environment has opened my eyes to a wider vision”
"It was a fantastic day, I enjoyed every moment - thank you for the opportunity”
It was also evident that the Linklaters staff gained a great deal from the experience too.
If you are interested in hosting young people from one of our partner organisations for a day of mutual learning and inspiration at your business, please get in touch. tomstrust@linklaters.com
