  • The apprenticeship scheme has a very good structure as I know how long the scheme is and what opportunities lie ahead. The scheme is 3 years long and will finish with me gaining a degree.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • As I am more of a senior apprentice (4th Year), compared to other apprentices in lower years, my salary is good. It allows me to live comfortably at home and lets do things that I enjoy. Furthermore with potential salary increase, this would mean my salary would go up again once we reach September.

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • We have CSR days (Corporate Social Responsibility) which allows all employees of Vauxhall to go out of the office on a day out to different charity or volunteering events. Furthermore with Vauxhall being sponsors of the Home Nations Football, it gives us the opportunity to go to Wembley and watch the football.

  • 9. Would you recommend Stellantis to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • It is a fantastic opportunity to earn whilst you learn. Vauxhall are very supportive in your apprenticeship. Vauxhall encourages apprentices to rotate in their roles every year, so in theory you are able to experience four different departments within the business. Furthermore with the degree element included, it's another reason why the apprenticeship program is a very good scheme.
