Testimonials
Such a great opportunity
Thales really looks after and appreciates its staff which makes it a great company to work for
[Thales] understands that having a diverse workforce is essential
I chose an apprenticeship with Thales, over other options, as they provided more incentives and had a passion to develop those wanting an apprenticeship. Some employers offered an extremely low salary, which to me, communicated that their apprentices were not that valuable to them. Whereas Thales made it clear to me in their job openings that they have a dedication to developing their employees. I have experienced nothing but support from my colleagues and they have played a huge part in helping me achieve my current position.
