News: Rolls-Royce begins search for Rotherham apprentices
World-renowned engineers, Rolls-Royce has begun the recruitment for its three apprenticeship programmes at the new Advanced Blade Casting Facility currently being constructed at the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham.
The 14,900 sq m Advanced Blade Casting Facility will use cutting edge manufacturing techniques to produce single crystal turbine blades, which play a critical role in jet engines and are required to withstand centrifugal loads of up to ten tonnes while operating at up to 200 degrees above the melting point of their alloy.
The facility will be capable of manufacturing 100,000 blades per year when fully operational in 2014.
Recruitment is underway for the Higher Apprenticeships in engineering where successful applicants will learn both on the job and in the classroom, gaining university-level qualifications, skills and incredible experience in one of the world's most prestigious, dynamic businesses.
Rolls-Royce's Advanced Apprenticeships for engineering are offered in two disciplines - technical and practical.
Technical apprentices will use state-of-the-art computers to build powerful investigative and problem-solving skills in preparation for taking on some of the world's toughest technical challenges.
Practical apprentices will train using state-of-the-art components, machinery and technology, getting ready to build, test and fix incredible, world-changing products.
The recruitment began as Rolls-Royce launched a new state-of-the-art Apprentice Academy, at its Learning and Career Development Centre in Derby.
George Osborne MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, said: "Excellence in engineering is what countries like Britain need if we are to win the global race that we are in. Apprenticeships and the new engineering qualifications help us achieve that, by giving young people the skills that they want and that businesses and the economy need."
Colin Smith, director of engineering and technology at Rolls-Royce, added: "We set the highest standards, both in educating our people and in delivering the most efficient products in the industry for our customers. What we do is exciting and it's great that this new Academy will offer access to state-of-the-art facilities and training to a wider range of young people who are beginning their careers in engineering."
Rolls-Royce has been training apprentices for over 100 years, and the group's apprenticeship programme is an industry leader; awarded Beacon Status by the Learning & Skills Improvement Service and OFSTED graded the programme as outstanding in all areas.
98% of apprentices successfully complete their training compared with a 74% national average and many go on to senior roles within the organisation - 20% of current senior managers in the UK started their careers as Rolls-Royce apprentices.
