Engineering Degree Apprentice Review

General design engineering activities, working on both new programme components and also future technologies

I have learned all skills required to contribute to the design and development of an automotive vehicle within the body engineering department

My programme is very enjoyable, through the empowerment I am given to make a real impact on development activities and the overall progression of the project

Within the engineering department, I have an excellent placement programme and development plan. At university, I have a good team around me helping with coursework. Regarding general apprenticeship activities, there is also a dedicated team helping me to complete those tasks also.

My employer takes a great amount of care to both give me fulfilling and appropriate tasks but also consider the workloads I have outside of my jobrole, by giving me dedicated time away from work to complete other activites.

I di not spend a great amount of time at university so I do not have very much contact with them, but I am confident that I would be given the help I need should I reach out and ask for it. May they could be more proactive however.

I do not believe that university helps with my jobrole. I learn more applicable and interesting topics through work. If anything, my jobrole helps more with my degree, with most coursework asking for applications from my workplace.

I can be both involved with the usual business extra curricular activities but also can take part in activities involved with the early careers network, which is very large at JLR. This involves activity days, dinner events and sports

Yes

It's a great company to work for, with healthy work relationships, fulfilling work and it's a great course to nurture future engineering skills to be a useful part of the team

JLR care most about your work ethic, attitude towards personal development and your enthusiasm for the industry and your work. Do not worry too much about academic achievement as that is less applicable to the workplace regardless.
