  • 9a. Would you recommend JLR to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • They have been running an apprenticeship for years but are very disorganized. The scheme has presented the same issues every year and still have not been sorted. The company takes no interest in your learning when you are away from the workplace and you are not allowed to help your own learning whilst on site.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to JLR?

    • don't.
