The company promotes internal and external recognition of achievement in education and training. Employees are encouraged to participate in a wide range of occupational, professional and management education programmes, many of which provide nationally recognised qualifications. The appropriate vocational and professional bodies accredit all our apprentice and graduate trainee programmes.

Among the ways we celebrate success are:

• The Sir Henry Royce Awards for Technical Innovation reward outstanding contribution made by individuals and teams to technical advances in the company.
• The Learning & Development Awards for Trainee Achievement recognise the contribution made by individuals and teams early in their career.
• The Chief Executive’s Quality Awards recognise the benefits made by teams throughout the company in improving systems and processes in their part of the business.
• The Rolls-Royce Quality Award for outstanding performance is judged against the European Quality Management Foundation business excellence model.
