Hi all, I graduated in 2023 and am currently in a legal role for a particular United Nations agency, and after a 3-year-long deliberation, I have finally decided I would like to try to seriously apply for TC's or Vac schemes. I literally have 0 friends that pursued this path so its really nice and encouraging to read through all of your stories here :)
