Meet solicitor apprentice Lucy Andrew from WBW Solicitors & Chartered Financial Planners. She said: "I love that there is both on-the-job training and off-the-job study simultaneously... I find the flexibility of the apprenticeship really advantageous. "It has been a really positive experience and I couldn’t recommend it enough."

About us
Damar Training is an award-winning provider of apprenticeship training and recruitment, specialising in business and professional services. Our goal is simple – to help organisations and individuals be the best they can possibly be. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our students. We specialise in business and professional services such as law and accountancy. We worked with large employers and sector groups to develop new apprenticeships in legal services and for the travel sector. Although we are headquartered in central Manchester, we work across England with partner-employers across a range of industry sectors. If your organisation employs (or is looking to employ) office staff, then we can add value. Many of the candidates who approach us are school and college leavers but apprenticeships are also for career-changers, people returning to the workplace and existing members of staff who need to develop their skills. There is no compromise on quality – it is simply an opportunity to recruit, mould and develop new and existing talent and help your organisation become more successful. Damar works with large employers who pay the apprenticeship levy as well as with smaller, non-levy paying employers. We are a long-established, privately owned business with a strong heritage, and clear purpose. We are Ofsted inspected (grade 2 – good) and have a direct contract with the Education and Skills Funding Agency. Most of our delivery takes place in the workplace. We have a national team of experienced coaches and 1:1 face to face online learning is complemented by a blend of online workshops, e-learning, activity briefs, and supported self-directed study.

Well done to Inderjit Kaur at Fragomen who recently shared her experience as a paralegal apprentice at a series of events hosted by Young Professionals. Inderjit said: "It was inspiring to see so many bright and passionate students alongside their supportive and enthusiastic parents. "I was able to share insights from my own journey and talk about the exceptional support offered by Damar through their various resources and amazing coaches.”

And also presented prizes to colleagues who have received the most points as part of our "celebrate the small stuff" recognition scheme. It's all about collaborating as a team to support our apprentices, employer partners, and each other! #oneteam #commonpurpose
