The 12 month "Placement Scheme" here at Volkswagen Group UK Ltd, located in Milton Keynes, offers students the opportunity to work within one of our brands (namely Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, SEAT, Skoda and Audi) and other business functions, such as Finance.

Students at Volkswagen Group can expect a dynamic placement year. We have high expectations but the rewards are attractive as you become integrated with our business, and get to work on real jobs, with real targets and real rewards.The following core skills are essential for our placement students:

	-		excellent computer skills
	-		team orientated, but also able to work independently
	-		outstanding communication skills
	-		excellent personal organisational skills (for example time management)
	-		a good understanding of the motor industry

Students who are flexible in their approach and who can adjust to working life quickly will get the most out of their time with us. These attributes are necessary due to the high levels of responsibility allocated to our placement students - as we said, the responsibilities you will experience are very real indeed.

Volkswagen Group has ambitious plans for the future, an enviable reputation and depends on the commitment of its staff not only in head office but also our retail partners to be able to achieve them.  We are 100% customer orientated. The Group and Retailer Network are structured into the separate brands with every branded employee being encouraged to believe in, and "live" the brand. Every opportunity is provided for the employees to associate themselves with and we want our students to be proud to be part of the brand for which they work. The Group in the UK has around 520 employees.

Working for the Volkswagen Group may sound challenging, but in return we provide our students with extensive benefits: -

Competitive Salary

The opportunity to loan a new car for your placement from a choice of models from each brand.

27 days holiday entitlement.

Within our Head Office we have a Learning Resource Centre, known as the HUB, This onsite facility assists our staff members in learning new skills enabling them to further and develop their knowledge. Placement students are able to attend training courses in Microsoft applications. In addition the Learning Resource team are prepared to assist students with university work and dissertations by offering information on the company.

If you can see yourself being responsible for budgets, creating websites, helping run Motorshows, being able to think creatively and still organise your time, then you are the sort of person we are looking for.
