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!”
