“From very early on in the programme, the team at Toyota wanted to hear my ideas, briefs and what I thought they should be doing. I thought this was really exciting as it made me comfortable to share those ideas and created a space to do so from early on.”
- Annie
We believe a better tomorrow starts today
“I definitely recommend this programme to anyone. Whether you’re from an accounting background, a marketing background or a management background like myself, you’ve got the ability to forge your own path, there’s no set route for you - you can go wherever you want.”
- Ben
We believe that if you can dream it you can do it
“You get to get involved in different areas of the business and find what suits you most. I definitely see myself continuing to grow with Toyota. It’s an awesome brand and they really look after you.”
- Jacqui
We believe in working together
“My favourite thing about my time in the graduate programme was opening up to this whole new world of an industry I’ve never really seen before. You get all the behind the scenes work and everything ties together – it’s like a well oiled machine.“
- Alex
