Designing effective early careers and qualification pathways has become even more complicated in 2026 — balancing SQE training, skills development, budgets, and the needs of the firm is an increasingly complex challenge. The change in apprenticeship funding has left many firms with a significant investment challenge.
This webinar hosted by The College of Legal Practice, gives Early Careers and Legal L&D colleagues a clear, practical view of the SQE options now available and how firms are using them. The discussion will include:
- Pathways overview: What you need to know about SQE preparation, solicitor apprenticeships and equivalent programmes – including study models and support structures.
- Planning: How to build an early careers programme portfolio that aligns workforce needs, budget and capability, with approaches for study time, supervision and support through the SQE.
- Coaching for SQE success: Proven models that improve confidence, learning outcomes and progression.
- What other firms are doing: Hear from the People in Law network and the College, sharing practical examples of different approaches.
- Q&A: Bring your challenges and get grounded advice that you can act on immediately.
This webinar is free for members to attend, £50 +VAT for non-members.
