Thank you for taking the time to write us a review about your experiences. We’re disappointed to read that it hasn’t been a positive expereince. We value the contributions of our apprentice at Leonardo and we are sorry you feel like you have not had the quality of teaching and support . We do our upmost to support our employees and in our internal survey we have very positive comments from the apprentice community. We encourage you to speak to our Southampton HR team to discuss this further.
