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

On a day-to-day basis I build cars with other associates. There are 14 takts in a day so we build 14 cars a day. You can get signed off on jobs so then you can build on your own. You can go on placements onto different departments and experience different things.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes. I have learnt so much. I have been signed off of jobs and can build multiple parts of cars. In my placement I have learnt how much problem solving is involved.
