Why your child should take up an apprenticeship...

Engineering offers excellent career prospects for your child and there is a high demand for engineering skills in industry, with plenty of exciting opportunities and rewarding career paths for them to follow. 

An engineering apprenticeship with Seta provides the launch pad for a career in engineering, manufacturing and related industries and enables students to gain a nationally recognised qualification, while receiving on-the-job training and earning a wage from an employer.

Apprentices train at Seta for at least six months, giving them a great grounding in engineering.

They’ll experience hands-on learning, acquire practical skills for use in industry and will be trained to be ‘work ready’ so they confidently go into an employer’s workplace. Seta equips apprentices for their roles, through bespoke training programmes that meet employer needs and apprenticeship standard specifications, and they’ll train on equipment and tools that they’ll use when working for their employer. All of this makes our apprenticeships highly popular with employers.

Our apprenticeships are delivered by highly experienced, qualified staff, in our state-of-the-art workshop facilities in Washington, North East England. We create an environment which enables our students to experience ‘hands-on’ learning and acquire practical skills for use in industry.
