Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked in Moor Lane within the Innovation Hub in the Central Manufacturing team. I spent most of my time looking at automation and robotics within the context of manufacturing.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The tasks I was given were not essential/critical however I was given the trust to develop the task the way I felt was best. A huge positive to speak with - and learn from - staff from all over the business.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt to be agile, adaptable and have developed confidence in a working environment. It is really good to get some experience in a corporate setting because you cannot get this from university.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company generally has a corporate atmosphere however it is dependent on the day and how many people are in the office and who. As you'd expect there are a range of personalities but generally there is quite a thorough and safety-focussed culture (which has positives and negatives).
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I found my internship really valuable: I learnt and developed many skills that uni cannot offer, I met some great people throughout and have gained a different perspective of the industry. I have really enjoyed my time: but you get out what you put in.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Rolls-Royce to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Rolls-Royce
Put in the effort to speak with staff around the business because you can learn so much from them and almost everybody is really approachable. If there is a certain area you want to work in then ask about and often you can make it happen.
