YES! At Toyota, the placement students never do tea and coffee runs! Students are given advanced responsibilities which subsequently allows you to build upon your skills and learn on the job.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The support from my team has been exemplary! There are no silly questions or judgement. At the start of my placement I had a two week handover period with the previous student which lay strong foundations for the year ahead. At Toyota there is a great team mentality and everyone is there to support each other.
