[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 33066, member: 2672"] I have responded to this in the “Ask a graduate recruiter” thread A few things to mention based on what has been said... 1) This isn’t new - it’s been CC approach for some time and they are just being more transparent about it 2) final year law and graduates are not excluded from applying and they can still secure TCs 3) although the GDL is going, firms are still putting their non law grads through an equivalent course as they know they won’t be ready for the SQE in the same way as a law grad. So there will still be additional costs, including fees and maintenance grants. The SQE could also be a cycle later than planned given the SRA have postponed the deadline for the GDL until December 2021 now. 4) Applying a year of graduation is not age discrimination as anyone can start a degree at any age. There’s employment tribunal claims that tried this in the past. 5) I don’t think this is a cost cutting exercise. I suspect this is a weighing up how to make their processes as efficient as possible. For instance, there’s evidence to say the longer you take to get back to candidates the more likely you are to lose both low income, BAME and female talent from your talent pool. I don’t agree with CC’s policy on this. I would hope that they had some form of alternative route for those not eligible for their feeder programmes. However, if this has been CC’s approach for sometime and they have one of the most diverse trainee populations when compared to similar firms, they must be getting something right, even if on the face of it their policy suggests the opposite. They have invested heavily into research to ensure their process is accessible - maybe that research has said this is the most effective approach. It could easily be the case that with the technology they have in place, like contextualised recruitment, they can use their systems to recruit the best for the firm. [/QUOTE]
