Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Rolls-Royce to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Because it is a highly regarded business that values it's employees and trainees. I am thankful for the support they offer to support my learning and like how they help you prepare for life after the apprenticeship.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Rolls-Royce?
Be yourself as you cannot hide behind an act. People value you more if you are your true self. Take every opportunity you get offered you never know what you may learn. Don't be afraid to speak to more senior employees they aren't as scary as you may think.
