Notes
The placement lasts nine to twelve months and is split into three placements in different parts of the business, such as product design and development, research at the innovation centre, commercial work, engines, industrial design or aftermarket. Placement students get mentoring and training, and can take part in community activities and become STEM ambassadors. The page names no year for its salary, length or timing, so this cycle's dates are not yet known.
