Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I help to support the tender process for all brands, managing this and submitting discounts is a daily task and can be a lengthy one. I support the ops team with resolving tickets and queries that may occur. Recently, launched a new project to help train the network which requires a lot of organising. I also help with internal comms and help to plan and run group events for both departments and wider team.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The thing I love about VWG is the about of trust you get given. I have been put on projects that have meaning and will impact the business and continue long after I leave. I have been given responsibility to run my own time, projects and send comms. I do not feel micro managed and have been given the responsibility to expand my skill set.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I have monthly 1-2-1s with my manager to talk about any queries with work, career development, how I am doing and any issues that may occur. We also are an open team where if there are any questions or issues I can ask whenever. VWG as a whole also offer extensive training at the beginning of the placement which allows for the ease into a new job and get to know the rest of the cohort.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I have really enjoyed my placement at VWG, I have learnt loads and created meaningful connections with both the other undergrads and people in the team. I have learnt loads of new skills and grown in confidence over the year. I have been thrown onto loads of different tasks and projects which has allowed me to connect with different people. Sometimes my role can get a bit blurred and not always have a structure but overall it has been a fun year, full of learning curves.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Volkswagen Group UK to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Volkswagen Group UK
Apply! It has been such a fun year and have learnt so much. You are not treated as a undergrad and they get you stuck into loads of different projects. You are also able to go to different areas of the business to shadow a team to broaden your experiences. I would highly recommend as you learn so much.
