A&O Shearman Spark Liverpool
The initiative supports students facing more significant barriers than their peers and enables them to benefit from expertly developed workshops focused on their confidence, skills and ambitions.
What's involved?
This programme is fully booked for this year. You can still enquire about next year's opportunities using our enquiry form.
The programme supports the participating young people to build professional networks, seek expert advice and guidance from positive role models in industry, and raise awareness about the varied opportunities in the area, including higher education and apprenticeships.
Through the course of the programme, young people are supported by our facilitators and local and national employers to develop skills, build confidence and enhance aspirations. Students engage with peers from other schools, learn about career routes they didn't know existed, and build skills that will ultimately support them in making the transition from education to meaningful employment.
Who's this suitable for?

Special consideration is given to students who meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Eligible for free school meals or Pupil Premium

Where is this delivered?
The workshops will be delivered by TTF facilitators and supported by volunteers from careers and industries across the area.
