As a SC and logistics apprentice I spend time with a variety of teams, learning how the operate, the problems they face and getting involved in projects and tasks.
I have learnt many supply chain based skills such as forecasting, warehouse and transport management, data integrity, and more. I have also developed soft skills such as project management, interpersonal communication, public speaking and more.
I really enjoy my programme. I always enjoyed business based subjects in school so supply chain was the right choice for me, and I believe I made the right choice for my career. JLR have excelled me by offering such a well-run course and given me all the support I've needed.
Well-structured. The university I study under runs a detailed course with a variety of enjoyable modules. JLR aligns with my course and is well organised in arranging my placements to benefit both my university and professional development.
More than enough. JLR offers multiple avenues for support such as early careers teams, cohort leads, mentors, and a great line manager. I always feel like I have support if I need it and it's made regularly available.
More than enough. We have regular tripartite reviews with university to check our progress and ensure we're up to date and happy with work and university.
Because JLR organises placements in line with my university work each benefits the other largely. I'm able to use my developed work place skills in my assignments and vis-versa.
Yes loads. JLR has a large early careers team who are always working towards organising events such as go karting, paintballing, pub crawls and much more. I've also done multiple early careers events such as career fairs and school visits to develop both myself and future apprentices.
Yes
JLR offers a good range of courses, covering most areas involved with car manufacturing meaning there's a course for most people. Once here JLR I have found is a great place to work and an inspiring company to be a part of.
Build your soft skills. A lot of people can get grades but it's important to build skills that stand out. Show your passion for JLR and the car industry.
