Graduate Scheme

Development is everything at Toyota. It's an intrinsic part of the way we work - the

unique management philosophy that's made us an automotive leader.

At its heart is the Japanese concept of kaizen - a belief that no process can ever be

declared perfect; that there's always a better way. You can see it in our world-leading

processes, our innovative products and, of course, in the w ay w e develop our

people.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU For graduates fresh out of university, kaizen means constant development. Nothing stands still

here - and graduates are hugely important to that. We really value the injection of energy and

ideas they bring. If you enjoy taking a practical, problem-solving approach to your work, you

could go a long way here. You'll be part of a collaborative culture - a business that's always looking

to the next challenge. It's only through our people's determination today that we can continue our

progress tomorrow.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME We take on graduates in four areas: Engineering, Business Operations

Management, HR and Finance. Wherever you join us, you'll experience working life on the

shop floor where we produce our Auris and Avensis models. 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

“The excitement comes from the

variety in the job – analysing a

drawing in the office or working down

in the plant. As a quality engineer, I

get to drive the finished product on the

test track”

“Other companies offer rotation around

different departments, but I chose

Toyota so that I could focus on Logistics.

Of course, I’ve seen the whole business

including some long nights learning how

the engine line works -challenging, but

good fun!”
