Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at JLR?
The scheme has been a great opportunity for me to experience different sides of the business. I have been able to network with different colleagues and understand what type of area I might want my future career to be in.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
During my comms role, I thoroughly enjoyed working through the different processes before seeing the end result of our performance marketing and digital assets for the brands. I also enjoyed learning about the different considerations and points that are important to focus on when building a brand.
My customer research role allow me to improve my analytical and project management skills. Through analysing customer data, I was able to get a better awareness of our customer base and help deliver these insights to other stakeholders within the business.

To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
5/5
Both of the teams have treated me with upmost respect and allowed me to contribute to the work as if I was a permanent employee.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
4/5
The opportunity to experience the vehicles and our manufacturing sites was invaluable. Also the flexible hybrid working allows a better work/life balance.
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?
4/5
It is team dependent but most colleagues provide you with individual projects to work on which helps you to build your own skills. However, the scheme is quite rigid in terms of choosing where you can do your placements which prevents you from choosing the areas you might want to develop in.
