Manchester Graduate Apprenticeship 2026 – Property/Energy/Construction

Kennedys is offering a 30-month training programme for graduates. The apprenticeship combines work with our experienced lawyers in one of our legal teams with study through BPP, one day per week. You will have a Kennedys supervisor and a tutor/skills coach at BPP to support you at work and in your studies.

During the programme you will gain Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) by working on real cases, while studying towards a Level 6 CILEX qualification, and preparing for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). This route provides an alternative to a traditional rotational training contract and allows you to earn while you learn. Kennedys will fully fund your training during the programme.
