    The Role

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

    • My placement has been great in terms of being based around what I study. There are also a lot of opportunities at Toyota in terms of training and other events that happen throughout the year. To improve my placement even more would be to increase the workload at some points.
