Duration: 2 years

Location: Gaydon or Whitley, with travel to a number of other locations.

Salary: Our current salary is £29,000 with a £2,000 joining bonus

As proud creators of modern luxury our people are our greatest asset, and you’ll deliver true value to our People Experiences team and the business through a series of key projects, products and service delivery. Throughout your Graduate scheme you will have the opportunity to work on multiple areas of our agenda. You will spend time working areas across either of our design, diagnosis and delivery model teams. We all play our part. We’re all the future of movement.

Our diagnosis teams work closely with business stakeholders to diagnose what’s required to support our people and help the organisation to continue to develop and transform. Our design teams are the masterminds behind innovating our processes focused on delivering products to enhance the employee experience. Our experience delivery teams work to ensure our experiences and products are deployed as designed, here you’ll learn to solve problems for real people and build your confidence in addressing challenges.

Underpinning all three of these elements is our Digital People Experience. There is not one process or interaction our people have with us that doesn’t involve digital and we're focused on growing our capability to transform our business.

Whichever teams you join you’ll need to be comfortable to work with ambiguity and be able to adapt and support ongoing change as we pioneer things we’ve never done before. You’ll work as part of a team of problem solvers; thinking outside the box and challenging the norm, designing innovative solutions through adopting agile methodology and digital solutions. And what’s most important is that we’re creating an environment for you to lead the way to create a better employee experience for tomorrow.

YEAR 1

INDUCTION - You’ll begin with an induction into Jaguar Land Rover 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 Jaguar Land Rover 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 Jaguar Land Rover.

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 Jaguar Land Rover.

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.
