Day to day I facilitate the design and development of technology that improves both the recruitment and onboarding processes at JLR. I tend to work 8-4:30 every day and go into the office most days (although this is not required). I also work on some recruitment campaigns for photo and video shoots and help to film behind the scenes.

I have been able to develop technology and Excel skills, allowing me to apply the skills in practical scenarios such as data analysis and reporting. Through regular use of these tools and platforms, I鈥檝e become more confident in navigating complex software environments. Additionally, the placement has enhanced my communication skills, as I鈥檝e presented in meetings and showcases to diverse audiences. Working in a collaborative environment has also strengthened my professional and interpersonal skills, teaching me how to build relationships, adapt to different working styles, and contribute effectively to a team.

At the beginning I mostly observed the team and completed small, supportive tasks that helped me understand the team鈥檚 workflow and company鈥檚 operations. I spent time shadowing colleagues, learning the systems, and gradually building my confidence in a professional environment. Now I have greater responsibilities, I independently managing my own projects, making meaningful contributions, and delivering results that have an impact on my direct team.

From the start of placement, I had regular one-to-one sessions with my early careers cohort lead, which was a more wellbeing focused initiative. I also had one-to-one meetings with my line manager, who supported both my work and wellbeing. I had access to occupational health services and therapy, which was a huge benefit of working here. The regular undergraduate events organized by the Early Careers team allowed us to connect with peers, share experiences, and build relationships. This support network played a huge role in making my placement experience both enjoyable and beneficial.

The company culture was supportive and enriching, creating an environment where I felt valued and empowered. It's clear diversity and inclusion are deeply embedded in the way JLR operates. Everyone was approachable and willing to help, making the workplace feel accessible and welcoming. Whether it was through inclusive events, open communication, or day to day interactions, the atmosphere was consistently positive and uplifting.

I loved my placement year, it was an incredible experience that allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. I've met new friends, built a strong network, and learnt from inspiring colleagues. The year has been full of valuable lessons, and experiences that have shaped my confidence and guided me to know what I want to do in the future
