I haven’t had any interactions or experiences with BCLP so I couldn’t really say I’m afraid! I think as a general rule firms are keen to recruit from vacation schemes as these are an important part of the recruitment process but this does vary between firms. Some firms don’t allow graduates etc to apply for schemes and so there may be a greater uptake of direct TCs at such firms. I think it’s always good to research stuff like this and attend events/webinars where you can to ask HR directly If it’s not clear or disclosed online
