Looking to enhance your governance team whilst shaping the career of future Company Secretaries?

Our CoSec Trainee scheme pairs your business with driven, diverse, socially mobile junior talent. You’ll gain invaluable support for your governance needs while providing the next generation with critical, hands-on experience.

Through listening to feedback from our clients, we know that Company Secretarial functions are growing due to an increase in regulation and compliance requirements. Considering that alongside the fact that many of today's CoSecs "fell" into the profession, we have built on our successful Flex Trainee scheme to create a new initiative attracting the best graduate talent into a career as a Company Secretary.

Get in touch to join forward-thinking organisations including Diageo in building a pipeline of invaluable future corporate governance talent.
