Hi TCLA!

I've just found out I have secured a place on the AS 2023 Aspire programme!

From members of TCLA who have taken part in previous years, it would be great to hear about your experience, how you found the scheme and what to expect.

And for any TCLA members who have secured a place for this year, please do post down below! Look forward to meeting you at the upcoming events :)

Thanks!

    Hi I was in Aspire last year and found it very helpful. The most helpful things were the open days (go to as many as you can attend) and the mentoring schemes. CAC was also helpful for my interviews. Good luck everyone!
