R&D Day as a stepping-stone to meaningful careers
It was encouraging for students to hear that for many Toyota engineers, previous R&D Open Days marked the start of their career journeys in the company. The main aim of the event is exactly to turn interest into opportunity, and it does so through introducing participants, as part of the day’s programme, to the available internships and Graduate Development Programme (GDP). GDP is an 18-month programme for recent graduates to kick-start their career in the best possible way – from being assigned a real job, to undergoing relevant trainings and receiving a competitive salary.
