Engineering Undergraduate Placement
JLR does not sponsor visas for its undergraduate placements because they feed a graduate scheme that is not eligible for sponsorship.
“Our undergraduate programmes offer a direct pipeline to our graduate scheme, which is not eligible for sponsorship. Therefore, JLR will only accept applications for this programme from candidates who would have the right to work in the UK at the point that they would successfully convert to the graduate programme.”
