[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 82377, member: 2672"] Not necessarily. You could have no assessments during a vacation scheme/internship. Some firms do have assessments as part of their internships though. Mainly things like group exercises, in the forms of research tasks or client pitches. Because assessment centres are simulations - they don’t really see you do the work in a real life environment. A vacation scheme allows you to see this on a more practical level, and over a longer period of time (which is probably much more reliable than a few hours). Internships are also good in allowing the candidate to work out if that’s the firm they want to train at, so it’s very much a two way process, where firms can try and sel the benefits of why a intern should join them longer term.
