The benefits
You’ll be paid a competitive salary, which vary according to role and location. This starts at £15,000 per year, and this will increase significantly once you've finished the programme. You’ll also benefit from 33 days’ holiday, including Bank Holidays.
The qualification
Just as important as your day-to-day work will be the time you spend on day-release working towards your AAT exams. The AAT has three stages of exams: Foundation, Intermediate and Technical. We'll pay all your fees, and once you earn your AAT qualification we'll support your further study for CIMA Professional certification.
The experience
Learning from and being supported by world-class engineers on live projects as part of a high valued advanced engineering business is a fantastic opportunity. But life at Rolls-Royce is about much more than ingenious engineering. Our people are welcoming and helpful, and you’ll work alongside experts who are eager to pass on decades of experience, as well as other fresh faces like you. It’s a friendly place to work, so although what we do demands extreme focus, 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.
