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

    • I have been put in the Battery Management Team and we look after the brand new I-Pace and control and update the software for its batteries. A typical day will include me coding MATLAB and picking out data

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

    • I have learnt how to code a bit as I knew nothing about it

    10/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • We have blocks where we spend 5 weeks at work (JLR site) then 1 week at uni so I'd say its structured very well.

    • My qualification will open doors as such for numerous roles so at the end of my apprenticeship I will be able to choose

    10/10
  • 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.)

    • There are and even in my team we have social days where we gout out for a meal or an activity

    9/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend JLR to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • It is 100% better than going to uni. I am also so flexible and get along with my team meaning my manager and team supports me whatever the issue

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

    • Make sure you are passionate about the company and understand its key goals and achievements but also make sure the role you apply is what you want to do
