I’m now a graduate recruitment partner at my law firm – we’re very hot on social mobility, and because of the opportunity I had with the Sutton Trust I’m very passionate about this.

Sarah Cowlishaw, Life Sciences Partner

The programme allowed me to grasp an understanding of the law, the people, the etiquette and the general know-how that no one normally thinks to teach a 16-year-old. Six years on, I still use many of the lessons taught on the programme on a day-to-day basis.

I considered working in the financial sector before the programme, but upon completion, this idea had been cemented. I loved experiencing the different cultures within each firm, and deciphering which departments I wasn’t keen on working in.
