Automotive manufacturer Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has recruited the largest-ever number of new apprentices. By Leatherbiz.
It launched its apprenticeship programme in 2006 with 11 young people starting work at the company’s production site at Goodwood in the south of England. When the 2024 cohort arrives to begin work in August, there will be 32 people in the group.
In advance of starting, all 32 of the new apprentices, plus their families, attended an event at Rolls-Royce at the end of July.
Human resources director, Mark Adams, said: “This event, which was inspired by feedback from current apprentices, aims to make the transition easier for our new intake, by giving them a chance to familiarise themselves with the home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood and get to know us a little better before their official start date in August.”
He said it was also important to involve family members because their support will be an important factor in the new apprentices’ success.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
