What is the Rolls-Royce I Accelerator?
Rolls-Royce have partnered with EDI to create this hybrid work experience programme for students interested in degree apprenticeships in business or engineering. You’ll get to work on a live project brief from a truly iconic business and learn about Rolls-Royce’s nuclear division. With demand for energy rising, while the world needs to reduce carbon emissions, many nations are investing in nuclear solutions – it’s an exciting time to be part of.
You’ll gain invaluable insight into nuclear engineering and business roles and 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.
