Two students from Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor have gained 'valuable' experience working with lawyers in London and Cardiff.
Owena Williams and Chayika Jones were selected for the Lord Edmund Davies Legal Educational Trust (LEDLET) summer scheme.
The scheme offers work experience to young people in Wales who aspire to a career in law.
Owena and Chayika were among the select few chosen from across Wales to participate this year.
Ms Williams, who studies A-levels in law, business studies, and psychology, was selected for the Cardiff placement.
She said: "During the summer, I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in the LEDLET scheme in Cardiff alongside 11 other Year 12 students across Wales who had no previous work experience within the legal sector.
"Across the week, we were allowed to meet and work with various law firms and shadow different barristers.
"I had a great time at Blake Morgan Solicitors and with Lucy King, a barrister from Civitas Law.
"During this time, I got first-hand experience working within different areas of law, which was very interesting.
"The LEDLET programme is one of the best work experience opportunities available for young people who wish to have a career in the law, and I would recommend it to anyone who thinks a career in the law is for them."
Ms Jones, who studies A-levels in law, history, and English Language & Literature, spent her week on the London scheme.
She said: "LEDLET granted me the opportunity to receive insightful experiences on the London scheme, in which I was debating and working with like-minded peers and professionals.
"Beyond that, the chance to meet Lord Lloyd Jones and the CEO of Linklaters was an unforgettable encounter, as they gave invaluable advice and guidance.
"This scheme has solidified my keen interest and has fuelled my drive for the law."
The LEDLET scheme is an independent charity established in 2013 to support young people living in Wales, or with a connection to Wales, who are interested in entering the legal profession.
Both Ms Williams and Ms Jones plan to study law at university from September 2025.
