Rolls-Royce Motor Cars delivered a series of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) workshops at the local Davison CE High School for Girls.
The workshops were led by ex-Davison student and current Rolls-Royce apprentice, Fleur Macmillan. She was supported by Jess Burcombe, an Intern and undergraduate from the University of Chichester, who provided insights into a STEAM career pathway.
Macmillan said: “Encouraging more young women to enter STEAM careers is so important.
“When I was sitting in those same classrooms only a few years ago, I never would have believed this was possible for me.
“There are so many ways to grow within Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and I am so pleased that I made that decision to choose a career with so much opportunity.”
The workshops support Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ wider Future Talent Programme (Graduates, Apprentices and Internships).
Developed in collaboration with Mathematics Education Innovation (MEI), which aims to improve maths education, the workshops were mapped to the school curriculum and made relevant to luxury manufacturing.
Davison CE High School for Girls is the only state school on the Sussex Coast providing education exclusively for girls.
Mark Adams, director of HR at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, “By showing how important maths is within luxury manufacturing, we hope to inspire students to consider a future in the industry.
“In recent years, we have seen a welcome increase in female applicants for our Future Talent Programme, and activities like this are key to sustaining that progress.”
The application window for the 2025 Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Apprenticeship programme is open until 31 March.
