Funded apprenticeships

Cardiff-based training provider Kaplan Altior, in partnership with Acorn, has been chosen by Skills for Justice to deliver the first formally accredited Higher Apprenticeship in Wales for the legal sector. Welsh law firms will be able to send staff on fully-funded Higher Apprenticeships from the summer, where they will train for fee-earning roles. Currently, there are 20 places left, and those registering will be given financial support from the Welsh government. The apprenticeship has been developed with the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) and aims to help law firms develop staff in paralegal roles.
