Following a successful launch, which raised levels of teacher awareness and interest, the take-up of Profitable Pursuit teacher training places has reduced over the period. We have been impressed by the enthusiasm that a small number of teachers have shown for the simulation.

However, overall, we have found that take-up and subsequent usage of Profitable Pursuit in schools has been modest and there have been insufficient levels of interest to run the training sessions. For these reasons Rolls-Royce will no longer be offering Profitable Pursuit, but will focus our efforts on our other numerous education outreach activities.

Rolls-Royce remains highly committed to supporting education activities as a crucial element in widening the pool of talent from which we recruit and as a key part of our corporate social responsibility agenda.
