Skills to perform & transform.
We know what it takes to succeed at Rolls-Royce. And it’s about looking to the future. Identifying what you’ll need to thrive tomorrow, as well as achieve today.
That’s why we need people with the skills to help us transform our business and perform at our best. Those who can adapt and change with us, as our world continues to evolve. That’s exactly what our Enterprise Skills Accelerator is designed to give you.
Join us and you’ll develop years’ worth of future-ready skill, experience and network connections in a matter of months.
It’s an intensive development programme like no other.
Designed for those early in their career, to give you all the attributes we know future business leaders need - like an agile mindset, commercial and financial acumen, influencing skills, and an advanced network - at an accelerated rate.
A uniquely holistic approach – helping you grow not just skills and knowledge, but also the behaviours, mindset, and networks you’ll need to thrive, now and in the future.
An accelerated learning journey – in just 12 months you could have developed capabilities and connections it takes people many years to gain.
An experience that develops you from where you’re at now. After an initial skills assessment, you’ll have a tailored development plan with a gig (or placements) and strategic project providing exposure across our enterprise.
A commitment to self-driven, agile learning. We’ll set you up with the tools and experiences, but it will be up you to make the most of them. This includes self-directed study for a postgraduate qualification on top of the day-job.
A way to start a career in specialist areas like marketing, sales, or human resources. This programme is about developing a range of transferable skills – those you need to adapt to changing business needs and to deliver change across an organisation.
A route into a guaranteed role or linear career. Those who complete the Enterprise Skills Accelerator will likely join our open talent marketplace, or an agile skills pool, for deployment across Rolls-Royce with key opportunities in Commercial, Procurement, Strategy & Transformation, Project Management, and generalist Finance roles. They’ll support programmes and projects wherever they’re needed.
Discover more about our Enterprise Skills Accelerator programme.
This is an intensive personalised programme. So, we can’t tell you exactly what your experience on the Enterprise Skills Accelerator will be. But here’s a guide.
As well as these key experiences, you’ll also benefit from a post-graduate certificate, masterclasses with Rolls-Royce experts, sponsorship from a senior leader throughout the programme, and 1:1 coaching.

Our Enterprise Skills Accelerator programme is designed to equip graduates with foundational skills, structured development, support networks, and early career experiences.
To apply, you’ll be a business-minded graduate who is curious, motivated, and eager to learn. Designed with experiences and support for those early in their career, you’ll have graduated in the last three years (by your start date with us) and be mobile to travel to, and be based from, any one of our key UK locations in Bristol, Derby, and London. If you thrive on change, want to accelerate your career, and are excited to shape the future of a global, ambitious enterprise, we’d love to hear from you.
For those with more career experience, we have a range of opportunities that could be a stronger fit for you – see our "Switch" or "Launch" (our direct entry opportunities coming soon!) programmes.
The Enterprise Skills Accelerator is not designed to develop engineering or technical skills. If you’ve studied engineering, we still want to hear from you. You’ll find a stronger fit with our Engineering & Technology Graduate Scheme or "Launch" opportunities.
“Change is a constant for us at Rolls-Royce, as it is for every organisation around the world. That’s why our ambition is to be truly skills-first, ensuring we’re set up to work in holistic, boundaryless ways.
It means using our people’s unique skills where they most add value and ensuring we all have the resilience and agility to adapt to our business’ ever-evolving needs. This is what our Enterprise Skills Accelerator is designed to deliver, for you and Rolls-Royce.”

It's an accelerated development program designed to help you gain the key attributes of a future business leader, including an agile mindset, commercial acumen, and advanced networking skills, in a much shorter time frame.
Unlike a traditional program, the Accelerator is a holistic approach focused on developing your mindset and behaviors, not just technical skills. It's a tailored journey that uses "gigs" (placements) and a strategic project to build your capabilities, rather than a fixed rotation.
It is open to anyone with a degree, regardless of when you earned it. Rolls-Royce is looking for curious, motivated individuals who are eager to accelerate their careers, whether they are a new graduate or have been in the workforce for a while.
The program is 12 months long, though additional gigs can extend the program up to 24 months if further development is needed.
You will be based in one of the key UK hubs in Derby, Birmingham, Bristol, and London. You should also be open to traveling to gain experience across the enterprise.

Graduates of the program will likely join Rolls-Royce's "open talent marketplace" or an agile skills pool, where they will be deployed to support projects and programs based on where their skills can add the most value.
The program is designed to create agile leaders who can support a wide range of functions. Your experience could include managing customer programs, developing strategy, or leading change initiatives.
Yes, you will have access to leaders, experts, and an advanced professional network through masterclasses and by presenting your strategic project to Executive leaders.
