Hello everyone,

Certain firms offer training contract offers only to those who have completed vacation schemes at that firm (often in the same cycle). I thought it would be helpful to list these firms below.

The confirmed source where I have found this information can be found through the hyperlink for particular firms in the second column.

As always, please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas to make this thread even better.

Good luck to all!
