[QUOTE="Abonil, post: 118973, member: 1605"] Hi there, I would say for Singapore vacation schemes, there are very few firms that offer a training contract. If I recall correctly, only three firms would provide you with an English TC - Latham & Watkins, Allen & Overy and Linklaters (Clifford Chance is structured differently if I'm not mistaken). The majority of the other international firms that operate in Singapore have an alliance with local firms in order to operate and only offer training contracts to candidates who are seeking to be Singapore law qualified. The intake for these schemes is also a lot smaller - around 10 candidates or less for each scheme and the conversion rate is 50% or lower. The TC application process is similar to that of London. It may be less competitive to get onto the scheme by virtue of there being a lower volume of applicants, but I do not think that converting it into an actual training contract is any less competitive. There will probably be financial support to sponsor your flight to do the scheme. But I am not entirely sure about accommodation. [/QUOTE]
