JLR Degree Apprentice Review

As a first year I spend 37 hours a week at college, this time is split between higher eductaion (studying the foundation degree) and doing workshop activities such as welding, engine build, turning, milling, fitting and CNC machining

Developed many existing skills including people and communication skills in making new friends, also learnt many new skills in the workshop giving me an opportunity to try and develop skills in things I have never done before, i.e turning, welding, fitting etc

Met my expectations well and although sometimes having a high workload it is enjoyable

Feel valued, especially when in plant.

Not very organised to begin with, but it is improving and there's a large number of apprentices to take in, so can be understood. Work Based Learning Managers (WBLMs) are very helpful.

Support is given when required and asked for.

Exceeds living costs, excellent benefits to the company.

There are many opportunities and are helped, supported and recommended to try new things and develop new skills out of work

Yes

Excellent company to work for with many benefits

Don't stress, it will be ok, there's a lot of support throughout the process and the interviewers are nice and most of them have gone through the apprenticeship
