Alert


Rolls-Royce has launched Discover: On Demand, a free virtual work experience and careers platform, designed to open up the world of science, technology, engineering and business to young people aged 14–18.

The platform provides students with the chance to explore careers, develop essential skills and gain an understanding of what it’s really like to work in a world-leading power and propulsion business. Through interactive modules on Future-Ready Skills, Career Tasters and Employability Skills, participants can learn at their own pace, wherever they are.


The launch is part of a wider emerging talent strategy, a key element of Rolls-Royce’s ongoing transformation journey. By broadening access to opportunities and inspiring more young people to explore STEM and business careers, we’re helping to build vital skills and a future ready workforce that our business and industry needs to boost long term growth and success.

“Discover: On Demand is a brilliant way to access experiences, roles and skills that could be out of reach for many aspiring learners,” said Ellie Long, Global Head of Emerging Talent at Rolls-Royce. “The platform opens up the world of work to everyone, offering a virtual learning journey, career tasters and additional skills which will all help build an amazing foundation for a future career in the industry.”

With insights into diverse roles across Aerospace Engineering, Business Operations and Project Management, the platform helps students:

  • Understand what different careers in engineering and business involve, from Nuclear Engineers to Commercial Officers.
  • Recognise which roles and skills feel right for them and develop critical future skills such as commercial acumen, financial awareness and digital capability.
  • Learn about the next steps toward further training, how to best prepare for interviews - with the support of a generative AI coach – and guidance with applying for opportunities across the industry and at Rolls-Royce.

“At Rolls-Royce, we’re shaping the future of the modern world — but the future isn’t reliant on machines alone,” said Matt Ley, Director – Design & Service Engineering. “It needs people with bright ideas and passion. Discover: On Demand is built for them. It’s their first step toward a career that could help define the next generation of innovation.”

Open to anyone and completely free to use, the platform brings together students from across the globe to explore, learn and grow — connecting classroom learning to real-world opportunities and helping every participant gain confidence in their capabilities.
