Full-time LPC Leeds, 2007/08
Trainee, Walker .... .... 2007/08
Trainee, Walker Morris
"Before I began the LPC I was apprehensive
about the prospect of becoming a trainee.
Although I enjoyed my law degree I did
not feel like it had prepared me for life in
practice. I could explain complex academic
ideas but how would I interact with clients in
the real world?
After starting the LPC at BPP my confidence
soon began to grow. Every aspect of studying
at BPP is geared to prepare you for life in
practice. The LPC challenges you to develop
the skills that are crucial for a solicitor,
the ability to understand the commercial
environment in which the law operates and
advise clients in a practical manner.
As the tutors at BPP have all been in practice
they can draw upon their experiences as well
as their expertise to make the transition from
academic study to practical application as
easy as possible. ....Read the full Editorial

“I was offered a role as junior brand manager,
working on a re-design of the Hamlet brand
and bringing it to market,” says Tom. “I
was attracted to marketing because I see it
as a way of influencing brand strategy and
ultimately, the direction of the business. In

Editorial - Covance
I graduated from York University with a BSc
(hons) in Biology in 2006, and in April 2007,
I joined .... .... as a trainee cellular pathology
scientist. I have enjoyed my first year in the
job, and would recommend the company, and
the department, as a potential employer to any
recent graduate with a similar background to
my own.
I was first attracted to Covance as I was
looking for a scientific job in the Yorkshire
area, where I could build upon the skills
which I learnt at university. After researching
the company, I was impressed by the ethos
of Covance – which has its foundations in
the desire to bring the miracles of medicine
to market sooner – and so decided to apply
for this job. In the year since I started, I have
found the aforementioned company ethos not
just to be a tagline or motto, but a way of life
at Covance, and a motivation for working
for the staff. ....Read the full Editorial

Editorial - TUI Travel

Age: 24
Education: University of Leeds, BA French .... .... TUI Travel trainee scheme appealed
because of the opportunities and diversity of
the placements spread out over an 18 months
contract. With more than 47,000 employees
across the world and over 200 brands,
including two out of the three largest Travel
companies in the UK (Thomson and First
Choice) it was clear that it was more a case
of deciding what route I personally wanted
to explore rather then being told in which
areas of the business I should gain work
experience. With the Group split into 5 main
sectors, Mainstream, Activity, Specialist and
Emerging Markets, Joint Venture and Online
Destinations Services, there was certainly
no lack of choice, and I was excited about
the opportunities available to me not only
in the UK but also abroad, for example at
TUI Espana in Spain or TUI Deutschland in
Germany or further opportunities in Russia
and China. ....Read the full Editorial
I joined the Government Legal Service in
September 2006, having graduated from New
College, Oxford in 2004 and secured a two
year training contract with the Treasury
Solicitor’s Department (TSol). I presently sit
within the Attorney General’s Office, which
offers an enormous variety of work involving
liaison with lawyers and policy advisors
across Whitehall and beyond. My first two
‘seats’ were in the Immigration Public Law
and Ministry of Defence Private Law teams.
One of the most striking and enticing things
about being a legal trainee with the GLS is
the amount of responsibility and variety of
work you are given at an early stage. Trainees
are expected to handle their own caseload
from day one, albeit with the support of
colleagues who are always willing to impart
their own experience and offer guidance on
case handling. ....Read the full Editorial
