We’ve trained apprentices since 1937, and helped more than 4,000 people start careers in construction.
Every great career starts somewhere, and at Seddon it starts with real opportunity. Today, one in five of our new starters joins us as an apprentice, and many go on to become supervisors, managers and even directors.
As a Seddon apprentice, you’ll earn a wage while you gain a recognised qualification. You’ll learn hands-on skills on live projects, working alongside a qualified mentor and supported by your line manager. You’ll also spend time at college or university on day or block release. Our Learning & Development team will be with you every step of the way, throughout your apprenticeship and beyond. It’s why 93% of our apprentices stay with us.
