The Toyota Way means that continuous improvement and respect for people are hard-wired into our culture. We're always looking for ways to improve - and that extends to your development.
Over the 11 month placement, you will be given training to sharpen and enhance your skills, while receiving regular feedback on how you are progressing. At the end of your Industrial Placement, you'll present to senior managers on your projects to demonstrate how you've added value to Toyota.
Previous IP students say it's an invaluable experience; it clarifies what you want from a career and helps you in your vital final-year. Impress us and you could be invited back to join our full graduate training programme.
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 degree result.
Additionally, for Engineering and Finance positions you will need to be studying a relevant degree. For HR and Logistics, most disciplines are acceptable but business related degrees are preferred. We typically take on Industrial Placement students in four areas: Business Operations Management, HR, Finance and engineering.
Starting
You will typically start your employment on the first Monday in September. Your development programme will last for just over 11 months and commence with an introduction to Toyota which will involve a 5 day induction held at the Burnaston Plant alongside other IP's or Graduates.
Development
You will be involved in a number of development programmes throughout your 11 months which will be focussed on a range of different skills.
These courses range from Toyota specific skills such as Problem Solving, Plan-Do-Check-Action and A3 Report writing, to developing skills in Presentation and Communication Skills, Personal Planning and Team Working.
Training
During the training period, you will be expected to write reports detailing practical aspects of your role using some of the Toyota philosophies: such as PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action) and Problem Solving. You will then be expected to present these to Senior Management.
Assessment
The Industrial Placement Programme is assessed throughout via formal and informal reviews and if successful, it will give you the opportunity to come back and join us as a graduate if opportunities are available.
