Aspiring legal eagles soar to success with Newcastle Sixth Form College and Eversheds

23 November

Newcastle Sixth Form College A Level Law students Josh Horne and Michael Zebrowski, both 17, have been selected to go even further with Eversheds.

Out of hundreds of applicants to take part in the Eversheds Unlocked Scheme earlier this year, they successfully secured two of only 20 places on offer to attend the Eversheds Unlocked Academy.

The scheme includes face-to-face training and online learning sessions; many of these are run by Eversheds in-house experts and are based on some of the key skills that Eversheds teach their current trainees and solicitors.

Michael and Josh will be also be assigned a mentor to guide them through the scheme and give them a real head start in their Law career. The experience culminates in a week’s work experience with Eversheds – one of the world’s largest corporate law firms.

Josh, who joined the college from Heaton Manor School, said “The Eversheds Unlocked Scheme gives a unique insight into the day-to-day experience of working as a solicitor. I’m excited to be selected for and really looking forward to getting started!”
