The catch: TJX sets no deadlines: its FAQ says programmes close once enough applications are received, so an open advert can shut without notice. You can only submit one application to TJX in an academic year, so choose between the analyst and engineering routes, and between this and any other TJX programme, before applying. The programme page and the adverts disagree on length, 12 months against 11.
