Rolls-Royce Motor Cars continued its commitment to fostering the next generation of STEAM talent with workshops at the local Davison CE High School for Girls. The sessions were developed to inspire young women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) while showcasing real-world math applications in the workplace.
The lessons, developed in collaboration with Mathematics Education Innovation (MEI), a charity that aims to improve maths education, were carefully mapped to the school curriculum and made relevant to luxury manufacturing.
Fleur Macmillan, an ex-Davison student and current Rolls-Royce apprentice, led the workshops. Fleur was supported by Jess Burcombe, an Intern and undergraduate from the University of Chichester, who provided first-hand insights into a STEAM career pathway.
Davison CE High School for Girls is the only state school on the Sussex Coast providing education exclusively for girls. The school is known for its proactive approach to engaging with industry partners, including Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
The workshops support Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ broader Future Talent Programme (Graduates, Apprentices, and Internships), which seeks to increase diversity and inclusion within the company. The programme also forms part of the company’s broader engagement with local stakeholders, reinforcing its reputation as a leading employer within the community.
The application window for the 2025 Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Apprenticeship programme is open until 31 March 2025. Applications are welcome from young people with a wide range of prior experience, interests and educational backgrounds.
Most Apprenticeships will begin in August 2025, with opportunities available in various specialisms and at levels from NVQ Level 2 (two years, GCSE equivalent) to Level 6 (four years, equivalent to an undergraduate degree).
Applications can be made online, with open roles on the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars careers portal.
