As an apprentice it can sometimes be easy to think your work may be less valuable than others with more experiance. With the level of communication between the teams I have worked in, it has given me confidence and re-inforced the idea that yes we are learning but also creating valuable work.

Research the carrer you wish to follow, there are many channels of work within Rolls-Royce and having a clear idea prior to applying will help with your development. On assesment days, answer the questions asked honestly and put in the work prior to the assesment day, you will be sent some details regarding what is expected of you on the day, and try your best to enjoy, although you will be nervous, the interviewers are well aware of this and are not just there to trip you up or catch you out.
