We typically take on graduates in four areas:
Business Operations Management (Logistics), HR, Finance and engineering and this could be within the vehicle or engine manufacturing facilities (Derbyshire or North Wales)
Wherever you join us, you'll experience working life on the shop floor where at Burnaston we produce the all new Corolla model as well as engines for vehicles such as the C-HR and Prius plus in Deeside. It's demanding - but we think it's the only way to understand our unique culture and the world-famous Toyota Production System.
We place great emphasis on learning by doing - usually through structured, on-the-job training. So, over the course of our programme, you'll find yourself tackling live projects and taking on real responsibilities in your chosen field. Our graduate programme lasts just over 2 years, it is assessed and designed to help you reach the standard needed to move into a specialist position at the end of the programme.
You'll be well supported - by your managers and a personal mentor. That said, we'll expect you to take charge of your own development. Curiosity and new concepts drive our business forward - so we encourage our graduates to broaden their own horizons.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
We're looking for individuals who will share our values and believe that there's always a better way. So, if you thrive on analysing problems from different angles to develop solutions and take a practical approach to your work, you could go a long way with us. You will also have a consistently strong academic record, with a minimum 2:1 predicted/recently achieved at degree level. Additionally, for Engineering and Finance positions you will need to be studying a relevant degree. For HR and Business Operations Management, most disciplines are acceptable but business related degrees are preferred.
Introduction
You'll begin on a week long induction learning the fundamentals of the business and how we operate. This will include information on our policies and procedures, a tour of the Burnaston factory and detail on what your programme with entail.
Development
Your development programme will last for just over 2 years and commence with an introduction to Toyota which will involve a 5 day induction held at the Burnaston Plant.
These courses range from Toyota specific skills such as Problem Solving, Plan-Do-Check-Action and Report writing to developing skills in Presentation and Communication, Personal Planning and Team Working.
Some of these courses will require you to complete a work based assignment, focussing on a chosen topic relating to your role and embedding the theories learnt on the course. These will be presented to a member of the L&D team and your placement Supervisors
Line Training
You will also participate in six weeks line training in one of the Burnaston Production areas. We won't pretend otherwise, during this time on-line you will be doing a repetitive and physical job as well as following a rotating shift pattern, but the skills and experience you develop will prove invaluable to you throughout your programme and thereafter
Secondment
You will have opportunities for a secondment to an area beyond your chosen specialisation, which will broaden your understanding of the business further. These positions could be within TMUK or even at one of our European plants
Assessment
The Graduate Development Programme is assessed and requires a certain standard to be attained prior to progression to a Specialist or Engineer position which is achieved at the end of the programme. You'll have regular reviews with your Supervisor as well as formal reviews with L&D. You'll be well supported - by your managers and a personal mentor. That said, we'll expect you to take charge of your own development. Curiosity and new concepts drive our business forward - so we encourage our graduates to broaden their own horizons
