2012 will be the 14th year for the partnership between Perry Meridian, Cyber Blue, and Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce support began in 1999 with engineering support. Over 10 years, we have been able to strengthen this partnership to include engineering support, corporate sponsorship, internships, co-ops, and job opportunities to graduating alumni.

Rolls-Royce Corporation in Indianapolis is home to the largest Rolls-Royce manufacturing site in North America. Their production, assembly, test, and facilities teams include electricians, millwrights, pipe fitters, tool & die makers, and airframe/power plant mechanics. Their employees design, develop, and manufacture key company products. Approximately 50% of the workforce is part of the Engineering organization.
