Learn from industry experts and support networks, who are there for you every step of the way. Develop your core skills through our Graduate curriculum, build experiences through the opportunities on offer at JLR, and improve your technical expertise through learning tailored to your programme.

YEAR 1

INDUCTION - You’ll begin with an induction into JLR in September 2023. You’ll get an overview of our business and future direction, get the chance to network, and meet key stakeholders, diversity & inclusion groups and more. This is where you’ll get all the information about your two-year graduate programme, and where you’ll be exposed to our business, our products and you’ll meet your Early Careers delivery team.

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT – Your Graduate curriculum will enable you to develop across four key journeys including, Personal Skills, Self-management, Effective Business Techniques and Business Skills. Within these journeys you will enhance your communication & presentation skills, stakeholder management principles, innovation & creativity, leadership skills and change management amongst others, whilst promoting wellbeing & resilience. This will be achieved through a blended learning approach of face-to-face workshops, virtual classrooms and on-demand content.

EXPERIENCE – Apply your learning to real-world business problems and tasks as part of your role. Undertake placements and/or shadowing to broaden your knowledge of your business function and connect with new stakeholders. You will be empowered to reach your full potential by the opportunities available to you during your programme, and the level of responsibility you will attain. You won’t be simply observing. You will lead change, deliver critical priorities and make an impact from the start.

YEAR 2

GRADUATE INNOVATION CHALLENGE - The Graduate Innovation Challenge (GIC) is an initiative run by JLR in year two of your programme, where graduates get the opportunity to develop innovative solutions to current business issues. The programme will run simultaneously across your graduate programmes for six months, with dedicated hours for self-development. Challenge groups will have the opportunity to present to senior leaders within the business. Who knows, you could even see your idea be incorporated in to our business!

EXPERIENCE - By year two, you will be more familiar with the business and will have tangible examples on where you have positively impacted your business function. You will continue to develop your network, utilising your wider graduate community and employee connections. You will further your personal & professional skills through your graduate programme.

MOVING FORWARD - Your graduate programme will provide you with the experience you need to thrive in our business. Along every step of the way, your performance will be assessed, and you will be given the opportunity to shape your experiences towards your future. Upon successful completion of your graduate programme, we will offer you a substantive role within the business which continues to develop your career with JLR.

Meet some graduates

The Strategy & Sustainability Graduate Programme offers great flexibility to work across a variety of functions, which has helped me to expand my network, providing opportunities to work alongside amazing people at all levels, from Managers to Directors. Already in my first year, I have gained critical Project and Stakeholder Management skills as I have been involved in, and lead key projects; the level of responsibility I have taken on makes me feel like a valued member of JLR.

SARA
Corporate Strategy Graduate

The graduate programme gave me an excellent opportunity to work in this great company and to garner a deeper appreciation for the products we create. It allowed me to work around the company and network, and has boosted my confidence tremendously. It also allowed me to meet several other graduates from around the company and some of them are my closest friends and confidants.
