“The Rolls-Royce Apprenticeships scheme is one of the most respected and prestigious of its kind in the country. We’re looking for people interested in administration, support and commercial roles as well as craft and manufacturing, so you don’t need to be a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) specialist to apply – but if you are, this is definitely one of the best places in the world to pursue your interest in engineering and technology. With qualifications available from Level 2 right up to Level 6, we have Apprenticeships suitable for everyone; from those leaving school at 16, to those seeking an alternative to a traditional university course.
