Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has welcomed 31 new apprentices to its renowned Apprenticeship Programme at Goodwood, West Sussex. This intake brings the total number of apprentices training on-site to nearly 100. The programme now includes new areas such as Data Analytics and Product Development.
Gunther Boehner, Director of Manufacturing at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, expressed his excitement: "Welcoming a new intake of Apprentices to the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood is always a very special day, both for the new arrivals and for us. These talented, committed young people, all of whom have already completed a rigorous selection process, represent the future of our business: the world-class craftspeople, managers and leaders who will shape Rolls-Royce in the future. Today, they’re embarking on what will be a challenging but transformative and life-enhancing journey to discover new skills and knowledge, the world of work and, not least, aspects of themselves. We’re delighted to have them with us and wish them every success."
This year’s apprentices will gain experience in various departments including Interior Trim Centre, Technical Assembly, Sewing, Interior Surface Centre, Robot Operations, Milling Machining, Exterior Surface Centre, Assembly and Test & Finish.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars actively engages with schools and colleges through careers fairs and seminars. They collaborate with Education Development Trust (EDT) and Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) to deliver talks to STEM students. Webinars for prospective applicants to their Future Talent programme will run throughout September.
