“Welcoming a new cohort of interns to the Home of Rolls-Royce
at Goodwood is always very special. We’re inspired and excited by
their potential, commitment and enthusiasm. The interns will spend
13 months learning from our experienced team, but their fresh ideas
and perspectives mean we also learn a lot from them. Our Future
Talent Programme is central to the long-term future of our business,
and many of our interns return to the business following the
completion of their university studies. I have no doubt that the
‘class of 2024-25’ will be no different. We’re delighted to welcome
our new colleagues and we look forward to watching them grow and
develop with us.”
Mark Adams, Director of Human Resources, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has welcomed the company’s
intern ‘class of 2024-25’ to the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood to
embark on an enriching 13-month programme. The 90 new arrivals are all
undergraduates, studying a variety of degree courses at universities
around the UK.
During their 13 months with Rolls-Royce, the interns will work
alongside experienced Engineers and Bespoke Designers, as well as
professionals in departments including Finance, Sales and Marketing,
IT, Human Resources and Corporate Communications.
To ease the transition from academia to the workplace, the new
interns were invited to the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood for a
networking day earlier this year. This event was led by the current
intern cohort who offered their new colleagues an opportunity to learn
more about the Internship Programme. The event also allowed the new
intake to meet their future managers, teammates and peers, building
relationships and making connections ahead of their formal start date.
While an internship does not guarantee a job with the company in
the future, many return after graduating to build long-term careers
with Rolls-Royce, going on to take up supervisory, management and
leadership roles. One example is Luke Strudwick, who joined
Rolls-Royce in 2017 as an intern with the Communications team. After
completing his degree, he was formally hired as a Corporate
Communications Executive, progressing first to Global Product
Communications Manager and later HR Planning & Steering Business
Partner. Luke was appointed Sustainability and Corporate
Communications Manager earlier this year, and will be acting as mentor
himself to one of the new intake.
“The Internship Programme at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is incredibly
rewarding, and it has provided me with the skills, confidence and
business acumen to allow me to progress in my career. The support
and responsibility provided to interns, along with the experience of
working for such a prestigious marque has supported my development
and resulted in me further progressing my career within the company.”
Luke Strudwick,
Sustainability and Corporate Communications Manager,
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
The Internship Programme has run every year since the
company began production at Goodwood in 2003, with numbers increasing
year on year. It forms a key element of the Rolls-Royce Future Talent
Programme, which also offers Apprenticeships, including Degree
options, and a Graduate scheme.
Rolls-Royce is committed to investing in and supporting
individuals from all walks of life to achieve their professional
potential. For more information, please visit www.rolls-roycemotorcars.com/careers
