Aimed at all those with a role in future talent in the legal sector, this is a virtual roundtable for LLS members to find out about Speakers for Schools and how you can support young people to improve social mobility and support young people to access meaningful and interactive encounters with employers through their experience programme.

Chaired by our President, Julie O’Hare, you will hear from Speakers for Schools’ Regional Engagement Manager, Shaheen Gul, Qualified Careers Professional, CDI registered with many years’ experience working with employers and schools. Shaheen will provide you with an overview of the charity, their mission and how you can engage with their Experience programme and support young people to improve social mobility.

They are currently supporting and engaging with a range of employers across the North-West to provide young people with meaningful virtual engagement with employers.
