Overview of Role

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

5/5

I do placements so day to day will be joining meetings for my placement and doing tasks that support that team and work on assignments. I do out of job activities e.g. networking by a coffee roulette, a stem ambassador and part of a tic team.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I feel so supported and everyone cares about my growth and are always wiling to help me. The tasks I get given help me learn new processes, develop new skills and meet new people. I have developed so much both personally and professionally already which would have happened in University.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Communication, negotiation, leadership, independence, confidence.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

Very well structured. I have weekly 121s with my supervisor and placement supervisor, monthly 121s with my line manager, monthly meetings with other apprentices and the apprenticeship lead, quarterly meetings with a member of early careers and with my coach from university. My placements have been planed linking to university.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

A lot I have multiple people I can go to if I ever need help and they will check up on me.

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

5/5

They ensure everything I do links back to the knowledge skills and behaviours I need to acquire from university in order to pass my apprenticeship. They ensure I understand my assignment that I need to do and get me any relevant support.

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

4/5

Better understanding of the business.

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

Many. Early careers activities, team activities, coffee roulette, stem ambassador, tic team and many events happen in Gaydon in which you can meet other individuals around the business and externally too.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend JLR to a friend?

Yes

Why?

I have learnt so much and grown so much and I believe that this programme would suit so many other individuals but they may not realise it and I am excited for my future.
