Applications for Rolls-Royce apprenticeship programme now open

Applications for the 2024 Rolls-Royce Motor Cars apprenticeship programme are now open, the company has confirmed.

Part of the Rolls-Royce Future Talent programme, which also includes Internships and graduate placements, the apprenticeship scheme has run every year since 2006 and is one of the most respected and prestigious of its kind in the UK. It offers successful candidates practical training and professional development, working alongside experienced specialists at the Home of Rolls-Royce. In addition to their work-based training, apprentices gain nationally recognised qualifications through further and higher education providers around the local area.

This year, the company is offering Level 2 apprenticeships – particularly suitable for those leaving school after GCSEs – in the Interior Trim Centre, Technical Assembly, Sewing, Interior Surface Centre and Robot Operations. There are also Level 3 (A-level equivalent) opportunities in Milling Machining, Exterior Surface Centre and Assembly Test & Finish.

For those seeking an alternative to the traditional university route after A-levels, Level 6 Degree Apprenticeships are available in technical areas including Digitalisation, Product Development, Technical Planning, Quality and Production Control and Assembly Quality.

Rolls-Royce is keen to emphasise that it has apprenticeships suitable for people with a wide range of prior experience, interests and educational backgrounds. As well as catering for those keen to pursue STEAM careers, the company is looking for candidates interested in commercial, administrative and non-production roles. This year, for example, it is recruiting at Level 3 in Logistics, and for Level 6 Degree Apprenticeships in Marketing Regional Sales & Business.

At the end of their initial training, apprentices may be invited to extend their time at Goodwood and study for more advanced qualifications. Candidates who attain consistently high standards throughout their training may be offered a permanent job with the company.

This year’s application window is now open. Candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, as places are limited and demand is always extremely high. The deadline to apply for each role varies, with some closing as early as 25 February. The company may also close applications for particular roles early if it has already received sufficient applications before the final closing date.
