I had previously conducted a summer internship at Rolls-Royce, so as a 'returner' applying for a graduate programme, I didn't have to complete the online application form. Instead, because I was applying for the Leadership Program rather than the Professional Excellence one, I was asked to attend an assessment day to demonstrate my leadership skills. During this one day asessment I undertook a technical interview, skills and experience interview, an individual learning assessment and a group learning assessment. The day was challenging, and at the end I was pretty tired, but the application process for me was very straight forward and smooth. I found out I'd been successful a couple of days later. Once I was accepted, lots of information and the all important contract were sent to me.
From day one you're given real responsibility in your role. It can be daunting, but there are always many levels of support available to you, be it from colleagues, managers, mentors, career coaches or people in HR. I've been involved in some pretty big projects which are changing the way the company does business, and you soon see the opportunities available in the company. I've found that putting in the effort earns the respect and support of colleagues. You're expected to deliver the goods, so don't be ready for an easy ride. It's fantastic with the amount of exposure and contacts you make so early on. There are loads of real opportunities to shine and friends that you make and keep in touch with from day one.
The programme has met my expectations in all aspects. I'd done a lot of research on the programme so knew what to expect. As a job finishing University, I couldn't ask for better. One thing worth mentioning is the amount of opportunity available to you as a graduate on a training programme, you can complete any training required for your role, live and work abroad in some pretty cool locations and take part in all sorts of things outside of work within a large graduate community. I feel that there is a lot more freedom than I initially thought to map your own career and choose where you really want to go. I am still learning about all of the opportunities out there and with a company the size of Rolls-Royce, I will never get bored.
In 5 years time I see myself in the position of a Work Package Owner. In such a position I would probably own a significant section of an engine that is in its development stage and I would be responsible for the team working on this project delivering a good product in time. However, with so much opportunity around, I could well be in a different role, but I'd like to keep a focus on technical and people leadership.
Make sure you read about all of the programmes Rolls-Royce offer before making a decision on which one to go for, and that it fits with your aspirations. Do your research on the company before any assessment day, and give it your best shot. Good luck!! |
