SQE Employer Support

How to ask your employer to invest in your SQE studies

Law Training Centre understands that finding the opportunity to discuss your career progression can often be difficult and perhaps daunting, and it may be a hard subject to approach especially during busy periods at work.

Performance reviews provide a great opportunity to discuss your learning and development needs, future goals and ambitions. They should be held frequently and are the perfect time to present to your employer what you seek to do and why they should invest in your future.

We have designed an SQE Career Progression Business Plan template and accompanying guide specifically to cover the key areas an employer would expect to see when considering supporting you with your studies.

Once you have identified the most suitable SQE course to take your career to the next level, use our template to help you gain financial support from your employer towards your qualification. Simply download the document below, fill in the relevant information and present it to your Manager / HR Manager or Training Manager.

If you require any support with this process, please contact the Legal Talent Development Team at [email protected].
