Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 187504" data-attributes="member: 2672">I think applying to a mix of opportunities is the right idea, especially given your work commitments. You could spread your applications across this cycle, applying to winter, spring and summer vacation schemes and either some winter TC deadlines, or wait until the summer TC deadlines.When working out which opportunity to apply to I would consider the following:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dates of the scheme - which will work best for you in terms of dates and length of programme (e.g. a three week scheme might not be appropriate for you to get the time of work).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vacation scheme to TC ratios. For firms with a high ratio of VS:TC places, you may want to prioritise their vacation schemes, while a low ratio means it might be better to apply for a TC</li> </ul>You should also check whether you will need to declare any other employment while working for your current employer. It is fairly common for employers to ask you to declare any other employment, and for some industries there may also be conflict checks needed to ensure there are no issues with you working for two organisations at the same time. If you have got these policies, it is trickier to get approval to attend vacation schemes. For some people, it means they will only make training contract applications as they know it is likely they won't get approval to attend a vacation scheme, especially with a competitor or if you work in something like the Civil Service/public sector or another closely connected regulated industry.</blockquote>
