There are still a few firms offering training contracts for 2010 starts and a few more offering 2011 starts. We have compiled a list of the firms with deadlines for applications at the end of March including links to their respective trainee recruitment web pages for you to follow. To find out more:
Training Contract Deadlines March 2010
Circumstances of firms as well as their vacancies and application procedures do change on occasion so you are advised to telephone each firm before making an application to check whether they are still accepting applications and, if so, when the deadline is, who you should address your application to and how you should apply. This will immediately set you apart from those who do not check and do not therefore pick up on any changes the firm has made.
Good luck!
