Rolls-Royce Motor Cars welcomed The Rt Hon Nick Gibb, Minister for
School Standards and MP for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, to the
company’s Headquarters and Manufacturing Plant during National
Apprenticeship Week.
National Apprenticeship Week (#NAW2018) is an annual week-long
celebration of apprenticeships and this year was themed
‘Apprenticeships Work’. Fittingly, Mr Gibb met with current
Rolls-Royce apprentices from leather, wood, paint, engineering and
assembly roles to hear at first-hand the knowledge and skills they
have gained since joining the scheme. The apprentices were joined by
colleagues who have successfully completed the apprenticeship
programme and are now progressing towards management roles in the company.
Mr Gibb learnt how Rolls-Royce apprentices combine
nationally-recognised college courses with on-the-job training,
working alongside the leading craftspeople and professionals who
design and build the world’s best-selling super-luxury cars.
Mr Gibb said, “It was a pleasure to meet the Rolls-Royce
apprentices. Their commitment and developing expertise was very clear
from the way they each described their particular contribution to the
creative and manufacturing process.” He continued, “I’m delighted that
Rolls-Royce is so committed to the apprenticeship programme, helping
to ensure our country has the skills it needs to compete in a
competitive global market.”
Mr Gibb’s visit follows the manufacturer’s recent announcement
that it is recruiting a record number of places for its 2018
Apprenticeship Programme. This year, 24 candidates will have the
opportunity to join the team at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
