For the first time Amazon aligned their T Level placement application process with their demanding, full apprenticeship application process. Students first had to submit an application form and CV, answer a set of questions around their motivation for applying and explain what they would bring to Amazon if selected.
From these submissions, candidates were shortlisted and invited to attend a remote Assessment Centre.
To have seven of the final 20 placements awarded to Ada students under this new structure is exceptional. We are so proud of them and can’t wait for them to use their knowledge in such a cutting edge, tech environment.
Highlights from Amazon’s feedback:
- “Your ability to challenge views constructively while maintaining group harmony was impressive. You demonstrated mature leadership capabilities.” – (Group Exercise feedback)
- “Outstanding initiative and entrepreneurial spirit – the quality of your presentation and website stood out as exceptional.” – (Presentation feedback)
- “A comprehensive understanding of data analytics, with thoughtful links to real-world applications and Amazon operations.” – (Presentation feedback)
- “Resilience, adaptability, and continuous improvement were evident throughout – exactly what we look for in future leaders.” – (Interview feedback)
