CMS Work Experience and Law Scholarships - Now Open
Here at CMS, we believe that a career in law should be accessible to all. As the 6th largest law firm in the world, with 9 offices in the UK and 80 offices globally, we have the platform to really make a difference.
As such, we are delighted to have launched two programmes for Year 12 students to help them discover a career in law.
CMS Law Scholarships are for students committed to pursuing university and will provide 10 individuals with £2500 per year of their university course, mentoring and a chance to join the First Steps insight week. CMS Connect is our work experience programme offering up to 50 individuals paid work experience, mentoring and skills workshops.
Both programmes are for those from backgrounds which research shows are less likely to secure opportunities at prestigious firms/universities and are focused on improving access to our industry.
- CMS Law Scholarships
Since 2012, we’ve helped some of the brightest and most creative legal minds launch their career through the CMS Law Scholarships Programme. Our scholarships are for students committed to pursuing the university route and from backgrounds which research shows are less likely to achieve a place at a prestigious university.
Across the UK, 10 successful applicants will benefit from:
· Financial support (£2500 per year) during their university studies
· Mentoring during their UCAS applications
· Paid work experience during their first year of University
Eligibility
Scholarships are aimed at students who will be the first generation in their family to go to university. There are also certain financial criteria, such as free school meal eligibility that students need to meet. Full details of these and how to apply can be found on our dedicated Scholarships website below.
- CMS Connect (formerly PRIME)
Our work experience programme (CMS Connect) is designed for school and college students who might think a career in law is out of reach.
We will show students what is possible, upskilling them on the available routes into the profession including apprenticeships AND the traditional university route.
During the two-year sustained programme of support, students will develop skills that all employers look out for, not just those in the legal profession. This happens through:
· Paid work experience in year 12/S5 (8 - 12 August 2022)
· Mentoring
· Application advice and guidance
Participation will certainly support them when making future applications to our Early Talent programmes – and other firms too!
We will be running CMS Connect in our London, Bristol, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen offices.
To find out more, check eligibility and apply, visit: the link below
Applications for both programmes open on 3 May 2022.
