[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 184995, member: 36777"] Hi [USER=37324]@James Wakefield[/USER]! I've taken a look and found a statement from HL explicitly stipulating that "Please note [B]there are no restrictions on applying for the HL Lift Off programme alongside a Vacation Scheme[/B]. However, [B]you cannot apply for two vacation schemes [/B]or a vacation scheme and training contract role within the same application window." As such, it seems you can definitely apply for both. I think the only potential problem might arise if you have reached the AC stage and were rejected for a Winter VS application. In that case, especially if the structure and exercises of the ACs are similar, they might not allow you to complete a second AC following the Lift Off track, since that may disadvantage other candidates. As to whether you should focus on other firms now or complete the Lift Off application as well, I would say that to maximize your chances of securing a TC you should do the former, unless: [LIST=1] [*]You would place HL among the firms you are most interested in and thus would like to prioritize maximizing the success chances of this individual application rather than maximizing the success chances of securing any other TC; or [*]If, having completed a VS application already, completing a high-quality Lift Off application would take you a significantly reduced amount of time (not more than maybe 2-3 hours of focused work).
