Paralegal and apprentice Joshua Smith (pictured), of law firm Chadwick Lawrence, has been chosen for a scheme which will see him sharing his experiences and encouraging others to pursue a career in law – as an Apprentice Ambassador.
Through the National Apprenticeship service, the Leeds Apprenticeship HUB approached 20-year-old Joshua to take part in a programme which aims to train apprentices to become Apprenticeship Ambassadors.
Joshua will have the opportunity to attend school and college visits, exhibitions and careers fairs and speak to parents and students about the apprenticeship scheme, as well as discuss his time and experiences with Chadwick Lawrence.
Said Joshua: “I am delighted to have been approached regarding this scheme and will be starting my training imminently. Attending these events as an ambassador, means I will get the chance to share my experiences with others and spread the word about the apprenticeship scheme here at Chadwick Lawrence.”
Neil Wilson, managing partner at Chadwick Lawrence, said: “We are extremely proud of our apprenticeship scheme and are seeing a number of colleagues progressing their careers through this training route.
“It’s essential for us to promote the programme directly to the students, and what better way to do this than through a chosen ambassador from our firm who is on the journey himself.”
Joshua has been with the firm for two years, working full-time on the apprenticeship scheme.
