Supply Chain and Procurement Degree Apprenticeship - Level 6
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.
The Level 6 Supply Chain and Procurement apprenticeship programme takes four years to complete and adheres to the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education (IfATE) Supply Chain Leadership Professional (integrated degree) standard. For more details, please visit the IfATE apprenticeship standard webpage.
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. You’ll be supported by a JLR early careers cohort leader, the university team, and your line manager every step of the way.
You’ll achieve a BSc (Hons) degree in Supply Chain and Procurement, developed in conjunction with Aston University. For more details on the degree course, please visit: Aston University.
Year 1 – 3
This programme is delivered through a combination of online study, face-to-face lectures, and independent learning for typically one to two days each week. This gives you the chance to apply your learning from Aston University to projects in a real-world environment.
You’ll study a range of modules designed to build your essential knowledge, skills and behaviours, with regular process reviews along the way to ensure you’re getting the support you need from your tutors and line manager.
Final Year
In your final year, you’ll complete a work-based project as part of your End Point Assessment (EPA). This is an opportunity for you to use the skills and experience you gained throughout your time on the programme and apply them directly to your role.
Upon successful completion of 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.
