The BBC has announced it will recruit more trainees following the success of the in-house training contract it launched in 2015. Four trainees will be recruited onto the scheme to start in September 2017 and four to start in September 2019.
Candidates for the in-house training contracts will need to be LPC graduates, making it ideal for those who are able to start immediately.
Trainees are likely to sit in Intellectual Property, Commercial Rights and Business Affairs and BBC Worldwide, as well as completing a contentious secondment at a private practice law firm.
First year trainees can expect to take home £28,000 rising to £32,000 in their second year.
The new training contracts will operate in addition to the trailblazer apprenticeship scheme currently offered by the BBC to school leavers in which they can expect to qualify as a solicitor within 6 years.
