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

I am currently enrolled onto a full time college course for a foundation degree in applied engineering. This is completed over one year full time and one year part time. We have a mixture of higher education subjects like maths, materials, CAD and ASSET alongside foundation competencies such as automotive assembly, fitting, milling, turning and welding.

9b. Why?

The apprenticeship is exceptional in its own right despite minor issues that have presented themselves. When compared to an alternative route such as entering university straight away, the outcome and benefits along the way are by far exceeded with the apprenticeship at JLR.
