At CPLED, we understand aspiring lawyers’ challenges when seeking articling positions in Canada. Therefore, we are launching Articling Assist, a new program for aspiring Canadian lawyers seeking assistance securing an articling position. Your dream articling position in Canada is within reach. Let us help you pave the way for a bright future in the Canadian legal field.

Once signed up for Articling Assist, customers will receive support developing their job search documents for their desired articling position – such as resumes and cover letters. They will also receive one-on-one coaching on effective job search strategies, techniques and behaviours.

The service is $490 CAD + applicable taxes, and included will be the following:

• A complete resume review, feedback provided on possible areas for improvement, formatting and editing support.
• Support creating a cover letter tailored to a target job description, with guidance on editing required for future applications with other employers.
• Interview preparation includes text-based interview preparation materials and a 45-minute interview discussion and practice session. 
• A 45-minute coaching session on job search, LinkedIn and networking tips and tricks, supplemented by a growing library of CPLED webinar recordings. 
• Supplementary coaching session: Additional coaching of up to 1 hour on any of the above topics in 20-minute increments. 

So what are you waiting for? Register for Articling Assist today and take that next step toward your future legal career.

The Articling Assist program provides support and coaching to individuals who sign up for the service. While CPLED strives to provide its customers with the best possible guidance and resources, we cannot guarantee that those who register for the program will secure an articling position through the service. CPLED provides assistance and guidance throughout the process; however, the ultimate responsibility for securing an articling position lies with the individual. CPLED is committed to providing high-quality support and coaching, but we cannot guarantee specific outcomes.
