Indigo Brave supports Rolls-Royce’s Apprentices

In a programme called “How to Bottle What You’ve Got and Build Resilience!” Indigo Brave will be working with Rolls Royce’s apprentices across all their 11 UK sites. The innovative programme, which was successfully piloted in 2007, will develop the trainees’ self-motivation, ownership of values and the visioning of their future, connecting their behaviour with the long term picture. Other expected outcomes are increased resilience as innovators and creative thinkers, with the personal strength to stand out from the crowd when appropriate, plus improved communication skills and emotional intelligence.

Neil Fowkes, Learning Delivery Manager at Rolls-Royce’s prestigious Learning and Career Development Centre in Derby, said “ We chose Indigo Brave to deliver this key personal skills programme because of their unique style – they work interactively and physically with people, creating changes in behaviour that become part of the person, learning that is fully embedded for life. Enhancing the social and emotional intelligence of our trainees will further increase their chances of career and life success – good for them, good for us, good for the industry and good for society.”

The retention rate for Rolls-Royce apprentices is 98% (against the national average of around 65%), evidence of the success of Rolls Royce’s exciting approach to investing in trainees.
