The thrill of the law underpins every day of your two-year business, finance and employment T level. From the beginning, you apply legal context to project and change management approaches, you dive into regulation and risk and you learn the fundamentals of law and financial accounting. By year two, specialist content is your focus as you start to identify the legal services career that most appeals to you. Performance outcomes lead your choices and help you make career-creating decisions. After growing your confidence in well-organised, insightful classroom sessions you step into a legal business practice for 45-day industry placement to learn the ropes of day to day life and give you an understanding of what a legal career is like.
In the first year, you get a clear understanding of the business environment you’re preparing yourself for and learn which careers are available to you in the legal world. As you consider your future role, you build a foundation of professionalism, regulation and ethics, so you know what’s expected of you as part of the industry. In practical sessions, using enlightening case studies and interesting discussions with your tutors and classmates, your new knowledge reaches into: - third party professional services - fundamentals of law and financial accounting - digital and emerging technology, digital transformation and digital tools - data driven innovation, analytics and design thinking - research skills - project and change management approaches in legal contexts
By year two, you have a clear idea of the legal path you want to take and start the specialist content that will support you as you enter criminal-legal services, criminal justice or social welfare employment. In preparation for an exciting, hands-on career, you learn the intricacies to - assist with the inception, progression and completion of legal services - carry out legal and factual research and present findings both orally and in writing - draft legal documents and standard legal communications for review by a supervisor With the refined skills you learn in year two, you will impress your employer from day one.
