Rolls-Royce is committed to improving individual and business capability by offering development opportunities and training programmes for employees, customers, suppliers and the communities in which we operate.

The Rolls-Royce Learning System sets frameworks for leadership, continuing professional development and business management. Working with academic partners around the world, the company operates a broad range of programmes that cover managerial, professional, technical and operating skills.

The Rolls-Royce Learning and Career Development organisation is an international team. It helps individuals to improve their abilities and skills which in turn improves business performance.

We have modern facilities throughout the company’s sites and have custom-built learning centres in locations of major employment: Derby in Europe, and Indianapolis in North America. This worldwide network supports personal development both for Rolls-Royce employees and many of our customers.

Working on local community projects forms a key part of development programmes for trainees and managers. These projects involve working with external partners in education, the arts, the environment and regeneration.

Rolls-Royce works closely with schools, colleges and universities to promote science and technology. We work with government, local and national institutions and education establishments to widen students’ experience of industry and promote careers in the aerospace, energy and marine sectors.
