  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I thoroughly enjoy my job now my confidence has grown. The degree programme is hard work when combining full time work and a university degree but it is so fantastic to have the two combined. Theoretical knowledge gained at university can be applied straight into the role in the workplace.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The training is well structured, I think it is important for an apprentice to have a mentor to shadow and lean on for support when in the early stages of learning.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Some of the modules in the university programme will not be used in my job role, however I am yet to select modules for the last two years, which can be more specific to your job role.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • I have been involved in a few company events, such as a dragons den design challenge at a local school, where over 200 students were involved. I had to provide support and guidance to help them with the challenge.

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