What did the students think?
I had such an amazing experience with Doceo through their two day insight programme. Both days were incredibly well organised and full of valuable advice, networks and guidance. I really appreciated how all of my questions and my peers’ questions were answered in so much detail which helped me make lots of useful notes.
The IBM day stood out for me as I have a genuine interest in tech and the connections and insights I gained were so helpful. I also really valued the authenticity and transparency shown throughout which made the sessions even more inspiring.
Overall it was an unforgettable opportunity that has given me confidence, connections and motivation moving forward. I am very grateful to the whole Doceo team for all the effort and support they gave us.
This was my first ever insight event/work experience day. I was nervous at first, but all members of the Doceo Team showed compassion and hospitality throughout. Both days were exciting and fresh, a great experience that I would definitely recommend for many. You come back with a new way of thinking and a resource pack to fuel your future endeavours. This experience was a 10/10 and I would say that you should all definitely attend! Thanks Doceo Team for your hard work into future careers in law and tech!
I attend the EmpowerED White & Case insight day with Doceo and I can easily say that it has been one of the best of many insight days I have been to so far. The advice is truly insightful and specific that you might not necessarily be given elsewhere. I would definitely recommend this anyone who is interested in a career in law or tech.
I'd like to personally thank Doceo for selecting me for this programme as it has opened my eyes to new opportunities.
Thanks to Doceo, I had the opportunity to learn from experienced lawyers at White & Case LLP about navigating a career in law over a 2 day period!
A key lesson I took away from these two days is that rejection doesn’t define you. Instead, it’s an opportunity to reflect on what attributes others may have demonstrated, and how you can grow for next time.
To summarise perfectly, one of the most useful and effective opportunities that I have experienced. Giving insight into early careers into technology and networking advice for post-16 students. Ever since I particpated, I have never looked at anything the same. To recieve the direct advice of industry professionals and being allowed to interact with then in their busy environment, opened my eyes to the professional world.
Two days, countless insights: EmpowerED 2025. Over the past two days, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the EmpowerED 2025 Doceo X IBM X White & Case LLP Event.
I walked away from these two days filled with inspiration, new insights, and a stronger sense of direction for the future.
Grateful to Doceo and everyone who made this event possible! 🙌
Immensely grateful to Zoë M firstly who was with my group throughout out the 2 days and provided great insight into how she progressed in her professional journey, your guidance has been memorable and insanely helpful! I hope to stay in touch and seek more from you…
and Steph L , someone who I’ve resonated with quite a lot over today especially after both our shared interests and backgrounds in the Legal and Technological realm and how they interlink. I was really intrigued to find out about your journey and your hurdles some of which have reflected in my life and even more so how you overcame them, I look forward to more opportunities such as this to learn and get guidance from you!
Also all the staff involved with Doceo and everyone else I networked with at this event, It was great to see and chat to so many aspiring professionals…
Massive thanks to Steph L. & Zoë M. for this amazing opportunity. This day left me feeling more confident, prepared, and inspired to take actionable steps toward my career goals within law.
