ULOs Attend Webinar with RPC
ULO programme sponsor, RPC, held a virtual webinar with our University Lacrosse Officers on Tuesday 19th November, imparting graduate top tips, advice, and wisdom, alongside a presentation regarding their training scheme.
The call offered an invaluable opportunity to penultimate and final year students, to hear more about the process of applying to a graduate scheme after university, pursuing a career in law, and completing a law conversion.
We were joined by several current graduate trainees, who offered an insight into the industry, culture, and ethos of the firm, followed by a Q&A opportunity. The webinar was highly attended- with mutual positive feedback received by all.
“As an aspiring solicitor and the Vice President of Mixed Lacrosse at Southampton University, this session was a perfect blend of my interests. RPC’s commitment to supporting England Lacrosse reflects their dynamic and forward-thinking culture, which aligns with my own values in both sports and professional aspirations… qualities that lacrosse has taught me […] I’ll carry forward as I persue a career in law. It was especially helpful to hear from the current trainees… thank you!”
Riley Lamb, University of Southampton
The webinar was an overwhelming success in bringing together university athletes with a professional graduate employer, to highlight the valuable experiences and soft skillsets acquired through sport, and valuability in a legal career in particular.
The interactive session gave students the chance to interact with recent graduates and ex-lacrosse players, and allowed them to ask questions directly, while motivating them to consider a postgraduate career in law,
Topics ranged from CV building and careers advice, to transferable skills and teamwork. The call also highlighted the importance of workplace culture- in particular the inclusive and diverse practises of RPC.
“Thank you very much to RPC for a fantastic webinar… I’m now very excited to go away and explore the firm in more detail… the trainees on the call as well as current employees of RPC were really friendly and helpful in answering questions… the overview of the law firm that was described portrayed a very inclusive and supportive environment… thank you to England Lacrosse!”
Carys Johnson, University of Nottingham
