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

    • I have a meeting every day, early in the morning to distribute the tasks between my team and receive projects. After every completed project we have to report back the results. I need to manage my time effectively in order to complete the projects.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    9/10
  • 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.)

    • I am not sure at the moment with COVID we did not get an opportunity.

    7/10

    • It is a great place to work and develop your skills.

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

    • The modules are a bit too much when it comes to the information you are receiving in a short period of time.
