What sort of job roles could an apprentice take on?

3 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

hello !

4 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

what age 16 or 18 ?

5 Adammc1 (Teacher of D&T) 7 years ago

Hi, we have students here who are currently in Year 10 so may choose to take an apprenticeship at either 16 or 18.

Generally we are thinking probably 18 following A-Levels.

6 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

Apprentices at manufacture parts, build engines and power systems, manage supply chains, manage programmes and projects, do finance, design systems, model, design control systems and much more

7 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

at 16 it would be practical or technical apprentice. at 18 it would be degree apprentice - we pay - you learn. You do real jobs and we pay your university fees

8 Adammc1 (Teacher of D&T) 7 years ago

Once an apprentice qualifies what long term career progression opportunities would there be?

9 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

10 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

How many people are employed by Rolls Royce and how many of these are apprentices?

14 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

we have over 100 years of experience of apprenticeships and know what real value they bring (and we can give)
In fact we now also have young apprentices (14 year olds on day release to RR) and board apprentices such is the value we place on apprenticeships

15 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

16 Adammc1 (Teacher of D&T) 7 years ago

Are the apprenticeship opportunities for research and development, design and manufacture all based on one site?

17 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

at any one time we have over 600 apprentices on programme. We are currently recruiting for 350 apprentices to start in the UK in Sept 18 - we have approx. 22,000 employees in the UK

18 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

no we have opportunities across most of our sites - in particular Derby, Bristol, Birmingham, Inchinnan, Barnoldswick and Sunderland

19 U402027 (Head of Community & Education) 7 years ago

200 of the apprentices we are recruiting are for Derby - our biggest site which has civil aerospace and nuclear business as well as R&D

20 Adammc1 (Teacher of D&T) 7 years ago

Do apprentices stay with Rolls Royce after they have completed their apprenticeship or is their opportunities to work with other partner organisations? If so, who do Rolls Royce work alongside?
