Thales Crawley Work Experience Programme

The Thales Crawley Work Experience programme, has now been running successfully for the last 2 years. In summary, it is a 4-day programme which is delivered by employees from across our Crawley site and is focused on Engineering.
This hands-on programme will see students working on real world problems with the support from our current Apprentices, giving an insight into the work we do at Thales and the breadth of engineering careers that we can offer. As well as working on a specific project, students will have the opportunity to engage with managers, take part in team-building activities, take a tour of our manufacturing site, inter-actively engage with several of our products that we produce for our customers, and gain more insight into Early Careers at Thales. The programme is aimed at students in Further Education, preferably studying STEM subjects at either A Level/BTEC or equivalent.
Each programme hosts 16 students and the dates for 2026 are as follows:
- 23rd – 26th March
- 27th – 30th July
- 23rd – 26th November
We are really keen for the local area schools to participate in our work experience programme.
Applications are now open for the for programme taking place in March.
The application form can be completed by clicking here.
We aim to short list applications and send further instructions to those that are successful by 13th March.
The programme is extremely competitive so would advise early application and students to really focus on their answer to question 10..
Kind regards
