Roke's "Next Generation" programme sets out to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists through direct contact with experts developing exciting new technology. Part of this scheme involved a ‘teach the teachers’ session where teachers from across Hampshire were invited to Roke to be trained in new engineering techniques so these could be passed onto students.

Roke want to recognise exceptional contributions and achievements made by employees at all levels. The Roke Excellence Awards are designed to reward outstanding performance from both teams and individuals, and to acknowledge their impact on the company and its stakeholders. There are three types of awards, Instant Awards, Employee Awards and MD Awards (selected by the MD). Any employee can nominate a colleague for an Instant Award or an Employee Award against one of the 4 value categories, Innovation, Supporting Business Strategy, Setting an Example and Behaving Responsibly. After nominations have been judged a special presentation ceremony is held for the awards winners. Employees usually receive £50 worth of vouchers for an instant award, £250 for an employee award and £1000 for the MD award.
