Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Mt role consisted of helping the Franchise Manager, aiding bits of research and larger projects that correlate with the Toyota's Centres throughout the Network. I was in charge of digital projects regarding the tech throughout the Centre's and making sure they're up and running - especially with the start up after COVID restrictions were lifted.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A placement with Toyota isn't just; you're a student, instead the team and your managers dedicate so much time and effort into sculpting you so you can take on bigger projects lead by you with help provided as and when you need it. They put a lot of work and trust into you so you can truly develop and hone your skills.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Toyota GB to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Toyota GB
Just have fun when you apply. The assessment Centre was a fun experience surrounded by likeminded students - don't put too much pressure on yourself and just answer questions honestly - you have a lot more selling points than you think.
