**Level 6 Supply Chain and Procurement Degree Apprenticeship**

We’re reinventing our end-to-end supply chain capability and performance. Our pioneering people are using advanced digital tools to bring together a global network of 1,000 suppliers in the most connected way possible to achieve one thing: delivering awe-inspiring vehicles on-time, flexibly and competitively.

This has led to a huge revolution in thought and practice, with supply chain planning, resilience and sustainability now at the forefront of many of the most exciting digital innovations being developed. This complex ecosystem of new technologies and ideas creates fantastic opportunities for talented apprentices to learn fast, champion change, and establish a career where they are challenged to think differently every single day.

As an apprentice, you will develop the Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours (KSBs) outlined in the apprenticeship standard. These will be assessed during your End Point Assessment (EPA), where you will demonstrate the competencies and skills you’ve gained throughout the programme.

**WHAT TO EXPECT**

During your apprenticeship, you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience and career-building skills while working at the forefront of the automotive industry. This exciting programme is designed to help you build practical skills, deepen your foundational knowledge, and develop essential business behaviours such as teamwork and problem-solving. And you’ll be supported by a JLR early careers cohort leader, the university team, and your line manager every step of the way.

**Year 1 - 3**

You’ll study a range of modules designed to build your essential knowledge, skills and behaviours, with regular process reviews along to way to ensure you’re getting the support you need from your tutors and line manager.

And when you’ve successfully completed your EPA, you’ll achieve your Level 6 Apprenticeship and become an accomplished buyer at JLR - taking on new responsibilities and making a meaningful impact within the business.

During your apprenticeship, you will join our Procurement team.

**Procurement**

Procurement is a crucial area of our business, responsible for securing and managing complex global deals with international suppliers and strategic partners. Procurement must consider political, technological, and innovative changes that impact the environment it operates in on a daily basis within the automotive industry. Working within Procurement will provide you with valuable exposure to what the company buys, how it buys it and who it buys it from, to ensure JLR's manufacturing facilities and corporate functions deliver product and service excellence in all things it procures.

You will follow a structured placement-based programme that will provide insight into Procurement practice and process, exposure to the Industrial Operations and external supplier base. You'll gain exposure to the global JLR organisation and supplier base and play an integral role in the source of new model programmes and major projects. You will be exposed to a variety of areas within procurement, alongside rotations in Manufacturing and Supply Chain. There may even be scope for international placements.

Following the completion of your apprenticeship you will become an accomplished buyer with your own specific category or commodity responsibility. You’ll be empowered to manage and facilitate the strategy for this specific category or commodity and ensure JLR's stakeholder and organisational requirements are delivered appropriately. You’ll be trained in negotiation skills and game theory in addition to engaging in benchmarking and analytical and strategic investigations to ensure the best business outcomes are delivered.
