Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

Daily meetings to review the progress of JLR processes, networking with team members for team days in office, helping negotiate terms with suppliers, and learning the skills needed to maintain relationships with key stakeholders.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I enjoy my programme a lot, I understand it is a new programme for our company, but JLR provides us with unique experiences and helpful individuals who will help us to grow.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Excel, public speaking, networking, self confidence

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

It is well organised, however, I feel like the Uni course structure could be better tailored to procurement. For example, we had a warehousing assignment 6 months in to our apprenticeship, which we have no knowledge about.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

A lot of support, mentally, work-wise, and from an extra-curricular point of view too.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

A good amount of support, the materials we have to work towards our qualifications are helpful. But, I feel as though we could have more guidance from a 1-1 sense to help us in assignments etc.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

It is good so far, however, some aspects of the course does not necessarily benefit us. For example, a finance module has been taken out, which would've helped us in our roles.
