First-year apprentice, 16-year-old Maddison, told the ABC seeing the interest of Australian politicians gives her a pride in her work.
"It's made us feel like we're doing something important and that it actually means something," she said.
"It's something to call home about … It's not just a nine-to-five, you actually get something important with it as well," agreed fellow apprentice, 17-year-old Jacob.
Mr Albanese praised the submarine program for giving opportunities to young and old alike.
"We've met young apprentices, but also some people being retrained. And one of the things that we need to do as our economy changes is not just to provide opportunities for young people, but provide people with opportunities and new careers as well," he said.
Mr Albanese in in the UK for the coronation of King Charles this coming weekend, alongside Governor-General David Hurley, the state governors, Julie Bishop, Matildas forward Sam Kerr, Musician Nick Cave, comedian Adam Hills and youth advocate Yasmin Poole among others.
Before the event on the weekend, Mr Albanese will also meet with Mr Sunak to discuss AUKUS and the free-trade agreement between the two nations.
