The Bar Council is launching a Pupillage Gateway platform for applicants and recruiters

Features include an ability for authorised education and training organisations to upload video content and create shortlisting forms, as well as managing post-offer administration.

Recruitment tech company Tribepad will partner with the Bar Council to deliver the platform ahead of the next pupillage recruitment cycle in September.

The Bar Council is writing to all users of the previous Pupillage Gateway to ensure any data and information stored in the system is downloaded and saved ahead of the launch of the new platform.

Carolyn Entwistle, the Bar Council’s director of services, said: ‘It’s important to us to offer all users a platform that is modern in terms of its functionality, easy to navigate, and most importantly, well supported by its providers.’
