If you’re young in your upholstery career, consider applying for an apprenticeship with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars‘ leather workshop. It’ll provide you with the skills, experience and credibility to go far and do it quickly.
The luxury automaker’s program, which is full-time and lasts up to four years, is based at its Goodwood facility in West Sussex, England; and designed to supplement a college education.
Rolls-Royce explains:
The programme will culminate with an Advanced NVQ Level 3 Modern Manufacturing Apprenticeship and accompanying technical qualifications in Leather.
You will be working in the Leathershop learning a variety of skills and attending college too.
Duties to include: inspection, leather cutting, leather preparation, sewing, leather covering, assembly work.
The deadline to apply is March 1, 2013 – so if you’re interested, submit your application right away. For more information, visit Rolls-Royce Careers.
Only down the road from me, If you have RR trained on your cv then your set really. Would be lovely working in that sort of environment but I think I’d get bored myself.
For someone wonting to be a trimmer this is “the one”
Maby a stage for 6 months will be cool 🙂
it would be very interesting to deepen our leather knowledge in hands of such a renowned factory!…as jeffrey said 6 months… no more.
It’s a great opportunity to young men to make a nice career
Four years is definitely a big commitment. For trimmers who’ve already made strides in their career, it’s probably too long. But for newbies, it isn’t much and definitely worth the time investment.
Just wondering, I attempted to apply for this opportunity… You have to first create an account on their web-site, which I tried, but it wouldnt accept my password that I created which resulted in an unsuccessful application… My question is, has anyone actually successfully applied? Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thank you
