[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 177089, member: 2672"] 1) Most vacation schemes will be closed now and won't reopen for 2024-25 programmes (which then may lead to 2027 or 2028 TC opportunities). Vacation schemes applications will typically open between late July through to December, depending on the firm and whether it is a winter, spring or summer scheme. You will find some remaining opportunities here: [URL]https://www.lawcareers.net/Solicitors/WorkPlacementDeadlines[/URL] 2) Many 2026/2027 TCs will either be open now or will open in the coming weeks and close during the summer. You can find deadlines here: [URL]https://www.lawcareers.net/Solicitors/TrainingContractDeadlines[/URL] 3) Paralegal roles are recruited on an on demand basis when the role exists. You should start looking for these opportunities around 6-8 weeks before you are ready to start such a role. 4) Be mindful that many regional TCs may not provide sponsorship either because the firm does not sponsor trainees for visas or because the role does not meet visa requirements (often based on salary requirements which have recently risen to over £38k for skilled persons visas in the UK). Firm's typically only recruiting a year in advance tend to be less likely to sponsor the SQE and so are also less likely to sponsor visas due to the costs. [/QUOTE]
