    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Overall I had an amazing year at Toyota GB. My team and the company were so welcoming from day 1. I was given so many amazing opportunities over the year and have gained so many new valuable skills that I will forever cherish. I met so many amazing people during my year and I will really miss it.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given many of my own projects to manage and was given so many opportunities to contribute to other team projects. I never felt like I was given any ‘student’ jobs, I was always a valued member of the team with a lot of responsibility.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have learnt so many valuable skills this year which I will forever hold of value. Toyota offer so many training opportunities to help aid in our development and the amount of responsibilities given within the team also teaches so many new skills.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • As there are only around 20 students at TGB it is a nice size group to socialise with throughout the year.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Epsom is an expensive area to live and many people live out of Epsom so therefore it wasn’t always easy to arrange to socialise after work.
