- New intake of Apprentices welcomed to the Home of Rolls-Royce
- Record number of participants in the Sir Ralph Robins Degree Apprenticeships scheme
- Now in its 15th year, the programme has trained more than 150 young people since 2006
- Represents a vital contribution to skills training and technical education in the UK manufacturing sector
“Welcoming our new Apprentices to Goodwood is a real annual
highlight. These young people have come through a selection process
in which they’ve already shown great potential and promise; it’s
tremendously exciting to watch them grow and flourish, and become
the bright, capable, talented people that our company – and the
country – needs in order to succeed in the future. We’ve worked
incredibly hard, both within our business and with our partner
institutions, to ensure their Apprenticeship experience will be as
rich, diverse, fulfilling and transformational as it’s been for
every other cohort since 2006.
“The Class of 2020 join us in highly unusual circumstances. We are
immensely proud that we’ve been able to run our programme at a time
when so many companies are curtailing similar activities, and when
educational establishments across the UK face huge challenges. We
have made many necessary changes to our business practices in
response to the pandemic, but maintaining the Apprenticeship scheme
has always been a priority.”
