At Shire Leasing, we know that the journey into the working world can feel daunting. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to help young people take their first steps with confidence. Through outreach programmes, work experience, and mentorship, we’re creating opportunities that empower the next generation.
Since 2017, our Legal and Compliance team has worked closely with local schools to deliver sessions such as:
We also proudly support the University of Warwick Law Outreach Programme in partnership with the Sutton Trust, offering week-long placements to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. These experiences provide a genuine insight into legal careers and show that determination and opportunity can open doors.
For aspiring lawyers, our summer work experience placements, running since 2014, offer hands-on exposure to real legal work, mentorship, and confidence-building.
And through our Enrichment Programme, launched in 2021, A-level students join us weekly for six months, working on real projects and developing essential skills like presenting, researching, and debating.
Why It Matters:
Every programme we run reflects our core value of Relationships. By sharing knowledge and experience, we help young people feel prepared, inspired, and capable of achieving their ambitions. Because when we invest in the next generation, we invest in a stronger, brighter future for everyone.
