The Rolls-Royce Motor Cars apprenticeship programme provides 16 to 24 year olds with the opportunity to learn and develop skills at the home of the world’s leading luxury manufacturer.

The apprenticeships last for up to four years and include college courses that are nationally recognised, alongside on-the-job training at Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars.

The programme has been designed in conjunction with several local colleges.

Successful applicants will join in August 2017, working alongside specialised crafts people in leather, wood, paint, engineering and assembly roles.

Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said: “We are committed to developing future talent at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and I am especially pleased that we will welcome a record number of new apprentices to the business in 2017.

“The development of artisanal craft skills at our centre of excellence, here in West Sussex, has been a hallmark of the first successful chapter in the renaissance of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

“I look forward to welcoming the next generation of talented craftspeople to the home of Rolls-Royce in the Summer.”
