Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Nestlé to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Nestle has been a great company to work for and supported me in my program. I have used my skills daily that i have learn in my apprenticeship and enjoyed having the extra knowledge and support needed.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Nestlé?
my apprenticeship/program wasn't through Nestle as it was an external program which i brought over from my old company. Nestle were more than happy to adopt my apprenticeship and take on the costs etc and support me in continuing my course. They were great
