The Academy is designed to help boost students’ business and legal sector knowledge as they apply for training contracts. A virtual session on people skills, delivered by Dan Kayne, general counsel (routes) of Network Rail and founder of the O Shaped Lawyer.

In this session we will be looking at what a competency question is and how to structure an effective response.

Members of the Careers team will lead the discussion and students will need to be willing to actively engage with the topic and be ready to ask questions and share experiences of writing applications.

Join us next week for another interesting Student and Staff research seminar. Speakers are Dr Georgina Mihut, who will be discussing discrimination in the labour market, and Eli Gemegh, PhD student, who will be discussing an intersectional approach to Black parents' experiences of autism.
