Cilex Student Christine

After almost 30 years working in the industry, Christine said: “CILEX is perfect for people like me who didn’t go to university but have lots of work experience and want to better themselves and further their career.”

Travelling from York every week to the college in Billingham, she believes it’s been well worth it for the knowledge and support she has received from her teachers and fellow students.

Hoping to become a paralegal with her firm, the mum-of-one said: “It is the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s been worth travelling because everyone is so friendly and nice. I only had to come to college once a week, so the journey didn’t feel like a big deal.”

‘Employing an apprentice is one of the best recruitment decisions the firm has made. To be able to nurture and support someone whilst they are going through their qualification is invaluable. As a firm we will continue to recruit and expand our apprentices and we look forward to working with Bede Sixth

“As a firm, we keen to encourage staff progression and the apprenticeship route enables our employees to get on the job practical experience whilst studying.”
