Hear from our students

The Aerospace Engineering Career Taster was a revelation. It offered a true behind the scenes look at Rolls Royce's pioneering work in aviation. Tackling a real world challenge brought engineering to life, developing my specialised technical skills. Now, my future path is much clearer, and the certificate is a valued addition to my CV."

Maya, 17

"The Rolls Royce Future Ready Skills programme, particularly the Employability modules, greatly boosted my confidence. I learnt the 10 core skills employers truly value, like problem solving and communication, through engaging scenarios. The AI Interview Coach was brilliant; I practised in a realistic environment, getting instant feedback. Now I feel truly prepared for the workplace, with a LinkedIn badge to prove my readiness."

Liam, 16

"The Fitter Taster opened my eyes to what it means to work in engineering at Rolls-Royce. I saw how components and modules are precisely assembled and balanced, and how technical instructions and safety practices are central to every task. The hands-on experience reinforced my focus and ambition, and with my certificate, I’m now ready to step into a role in Civil Operations as a fitter."
