benefits
- Training includes a two-year period that is completely financed in any UK country, as well as a free spot on the Professional Skills Course at BPP campuses or an equivalent requirement in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
- Project: In partnership with their Host organisation, Fellows create a project. In addition to improving access to justice, projects may generate cash for the host organisation in the future.
- Additional assistance, training, and networking opportunities are available to fellows through frequent attendance at workshops on project creation, professional growth, training in broader skills (such as fundraising and marketing), well-being support, and access to relevant networks. Additionally, fellows develop significant bonds with their cohort, which provides them with crucial peer support throughout their programme. Additionally, they continue to be a part of our JFF alumni network after qualifying. Similar to this, our Hosts join a national network of businesses dedicated to helping the next generation of social welfare attorneys.
