The benefits
From the moment you join Rolls-Royce, you'll be a valuable member of the team and we'll make sure your work is well-rewarded. So we won’t just train you for a well-paid career; we’ll pay you a competitive salary from day one of your Apprenticeship. How much you earn depends on your role and location, but you'll start on around £11,875 a year. You’ll also benefit from a competitive pension plan and 33 days’ holiday, including Bank Holidays, every year.
The qualification
Throughout your Higher Apprenticeship, you’ll study towards a Project Management Foundation Degree accredited by Lancaster University. You’ll also earn an NVQ Level 4 diploma in Project Management.
The experience
Learning from and being supported by world-class Project Managers on live projects is a fantastic opportunity. Life at Rolls-Royce is much more than working on leading edge technology. Our people are welcoming and helpful, and you’ll work alongside people who are eager to pass on their experience, as well as other fresh faces like you. It’s a friendly place to work, so although what we do demands the best, we also make time to get to know each other.
On top of that, our Apprentice & Graduate Association organise a whole range of activities. In the past, these have included wakeboarding, water skiing, paintballing and go-karting. Less formally organised social events are also a regular occurrence, so it probably won’t be long before you’re invited out to get to know everyone better.
We also offer all our apprentices the chance to develop through tailored – and fun – team building. You’ll therefore go on our Outward Bound Professional Programme to help develop some of the important skills you'll need at Rolls-Royce. Through exciting, fast-paced activities outdoors and in the classroom, you'll improve your teamwork, self-confidence and communication skills. You'll push yourself in new and different ways. And your experiences mean you'll come back to work an even stronger member of our team.
