Hello,

So i'm now going into my final fourth year, and last year applied to a wealth of vacation schemes but failed to secure any. Now that i am in my final year is it more optimal to apply for vacation schemes again or to apply for direct training contracts? I know direct contract scheme routes would be better if you have formal experience in a corporate environment. I am participating in an Intellectual Property Internship over the summer with a high street firm, but i'm not sure if this is sufficient work experience which will allow me to compete with TC applicants. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

It would be greatly appreciated!
