Toyota is introducing a Project Management Degree Apprenticeship programme for UK school leavers, giving them the chance to gain real life experience at Toyota’s Surrey headquarters while studying for a degree.
Offered in partnership with Northumbria University, the four-year apprenticeship is designed so that apprentices can divide their time between office work and virtual academic studies.
Apprentices will work with Toyota’s Data and Insight team to develop project management skills to support improvement of the consumer experience. The programme includes degree apprenticeships, 12-month student placements and an 18-month rotational graduate programme.
Luke Smith, Toyota (GB) Specialist, Talent Acquisition and Experience, said, “This is an opportunity for a school leaver to start their career with a major global player in the automotive industry while studying for a degree. We are very proud of our Emerging Talent schemes and have many examples of team leaders and senior managers who started their careers as students or apprentices.”
Applications are open until 15 April.
