Students face heavy competition for vacation places as firms slash schemes

I cannot see much benefit in short "insight" visits and open days. One of the purposes of a vacation scheme is to get the firm know the student. The students are doing enough research on the firms anyway. A vac scheme is like a prolonged assessment centre without the stress of a flash performance. Without the impression that I made during my vacation placement I would have never secured a training contract.
