About Rolls-Royce I Accelerator Programme in Engineering and Business (Derby)

Apply and fast track your degree apprenticeship application!

What is the Rolls-Royce I Accelerator?
Rolls-Royce has partnered with EDI to create this hybrid work experience programme for students interested in degree apprenticeships in business or engineering (Nuclear and Civil). You’ll get to work on a live project brief from a truly iconic business and learn how Rolls-Royce is pushing the limits of sustainable power, air travel, and defence. As advancing technologies and climate change reshape our world, our apprentices are building the future skills our sector and society need. It’s an exciting time to be part of Rolls-Royce. You’ll gain invaluable insight into engineering (Civil and Nuclear) and business roles, enabling you to develop skills transferable to the world of work. Complete the week and you’ll also have the opportunity to be fast-tracked through the first stage of the degree apprenticeship application process.
