[QUOTE="B1806, post: 76182, member: 4406"] I just found out that the firm for which I have a vac scheme decided to change it to an online format and shorten it from 3 weeks to 1. Not only that but apparently what was supposed to be a proper work experience is now just going to be effectively an insight scheme (which I already did at that specific firm). I'm immeasurably disappointed since this means I'll be left completely without legal work experience this summer. I'm considering withdrawing from this scheme and looking for local work experience opportunities since at least those will allow me to get some hands-on experience, even if it's not relevant in the long term. Is it worth it to stick with the scheme or should I look for alternatives? I'm still interested in the firm I'd be doing the scheme with, but I really don't need another insight scheme when I already did one. [/QUOTE]
