Dean Wilson Knowledge Academy
At Dean Wilson LLP, we believe that our greatest asset is our people. We are committed to providing our team with the opportunities they need to progress and excel in their careers. We focus on upskilling our current team and nurturing their growth within the firm.
As technology advances and workplace strategies evolve, we wish to offer colleagues opportunities to align with these changes. Training programs help improve the knowledge and skills to match the various changes in the industry.
The DW Knowledge Academy supports our workforce to have the tools they need to grow and advance. Training can involve formal classes, online modules, legal updates, management training, outsourced courses and mentorship or coaching. Whether it be new employees looking to launch their career or an experienced professional interested in continuous growth, there are opportunities for all.
We have a number of routes to qualify for those pursuing a career as a solicitor, we have annual trainee solicitor intakes, solicitor apprenticeship programmes and a comprehensive qualifying work experience pathway. Apprenticeships are also undertaken in support departments such as IT and business administration.
The Knowledge Academy offers annual work experience programmes for college and university students and a summer internship. We work in partnership with a local Brighton college to ensure we offer these opportunities to those wishing to pursue a career in law. We ensure it is a hands-on experience across a number of departments, allowing a broad understanding and experience of the business as a whole.
We hope that having a positive approach to learning ensures our teams feel part of a supportive work environment where they are appreciated and valued.
