TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[Rosie_Kitten]

Hi - specific question here:
"
Please provide details of any additional posts of responsibility that have not been caputured in your Work Experience information (e.g. at school, university, or elsewhere) and your main extra-curricular activities and leisure interests:"

I read this two ways: one which asked me to provide main extra-curricular activities, and one which didn't. The form didn't have space to add extra-curricular activities. I find the punctuation quite ambiguous - it could be asking to provide posts of responsibility that have not been captured in (work experience and extra-curriciulars), or posts of responsibility that have not been captured in work experience in addition to main extra-curricular activities.
