• Elective Rotation: The final stepping-stone. This rotation will correlate with your potential future role post-programme.

Your journey doesn’t end with the programme. Working alongside our people-focused leadership team, subject to your performance & progression during the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to map out your potential future career trajectory within Tesla. Upon completion of the programme, you will be given the opportunity to apply for any available full-time roles that align with your strengths and aspirations.
