Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Toyota run plenty of help & well-being courses to support you through your time here that you can sign up to (it can be quite daunting if it's your first corporate experience!). But with constant support from team-members and managers, many of which were once Toyota placement students too, they help bring the best out of yourself.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
My placement year has taught me so many things I wouldn't have even thought of before starting here at Toyota GB. One of the biggest things for me was to develop my interpersonal skills (alongside business critical skills of course), and I'm glad that I've been given training and opportunities to evolve these. I'm excited to take everything I've learnt back to university for final year of teaching.
