    5/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I've built on my skills when it comes to working on cars however the college didn't assist me in developing my skills set.

    5/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I enjoy it to an extent however there is a serious gap between expectation and reality.

    4/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The college side of the programme seems to have no organisation or structure, in the workplace our learner journey has been well structured and organised.

    5/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Support from employer is sufficient.

    6/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • Our training provider does not prepare us for the job we do at work, the work at college seems irrelevant and is not delivered well.

    3/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • The qualification done through college provides little or no help to perform better in our role.

    2/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • JLR provide an employee learning scheme where you have a budget to spend on extra curricular activities. There are other schemes to get on board with such as the team improvement circle.

    9/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend JLR to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • The job role is very different to what is advertised. In some areas of the business I find the culture outdated and uninclusive and I find it to be a very inefficient business, little action is taken when complaints are bought up and supervisors/managers can be dismissive.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to JLR?

    • .
