Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
To use scripting software and tools to test features requested by customers
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I find it quite enjoyable and I would say that the extent you enjoy it is up to you. There are many different opportunities at work and university so you have to involve yourself with them.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Yes I have learnt how to use different platforms and coding languages so far
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
So far it could be a lot better. However, this year a new systems and platforms were implemented so the apprentices, training provider and employer are getting used to them.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I received adequate support from my employer as they try to help out with anything that they can see. However, they don’t know everything that you need help with (for example example things to do with uni) so you need to keep them informed.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive adequate support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My training at university actually directly helps my quite a bit in my role. I have had to use information from work at uncover and vice versa.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes, I am involved in a basketball club crated by JLR and that plays at Warwick university.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend JLR to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The opportunities provided by this course are very valuable and unique. The experience I am having I would also like friends to have so I would recommend.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to JLR?
JLR is a big company with most offices based in the midlands so it’s important to network within the company to find places you would like to explore.
