Rolls-Royce prepares for record intake of apprentices
19/02/2019
It launched the initiative in 2006. Since then, numbers have steadily increased and this year the luxury automotive group will offer a record 31 candidates the opportunity to join its team at Goodwood, West Sussex.
Rolls-Royce is offering a new Degree Apprenticeship for the first time in 2019. It is named in honour of Sir Ralph Robins, former CEO of the group and now a non-executive director. It will see apprentices studying for a degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Chichester.
The apprenticeship programme offers young people the opportunity to learn and develop skills at the factory. The apprenticeships last for up to four years and allow successful candidates to build a career by completing college courses alongside on-the-job training.
Successful new applicants will join the company in August 2018, working alongside specialised craftspeople in leather, wood, paint, engineering and assembly roles.
