"Haden Young’s training provided me with the opportunity to carry on in higher education without the hardship that most students experience at university."
Paul Envy, former Student Trainee, now Project Engineer, Newcastle
Haden Young offers training to a number of engineering and commercial students each year in most of our regional offices. The training provides career paths to Building Services Project or Design Engineering, Quantity Surveying and Commercial roles.
As a Student Engineer or Commercial Student, you will work towards degree qualifications and receive invaluable work experience with real responsibility. Once qualified, you can look forward to excellent career prospects. Most of our current senior staff are products of Haden Young training schemes.
All students begin with a common programme covering the fundamentals of building services. As the programme continues, you will study electrical, mechanical or commercial subjects in more depth with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary teamwork throughout.
During the four-year training programme, you will combine project experience with residential block release modules at Liverpool Community College, Haden Young’s partner in building services engineering training. This partnership also includes Liverpool John Moores University providing Degree level accreditation. This programme has been recognised by success in the National Training Awards and also by The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE).
As a potential student trainee, you may come from a variety of backgrounds.
For applicants from full time education, good grades in relevant subject at A/AS level or Scottish Highers are expected. Relevant vocational qualifications or other equivalents such as baccalaureates are equally welcome.
We will also consider more experienced applicants who can demonstrate the potential to succeed in a combination of higher level studies and work through other means than previous academic awards.
Because the programme involves an intensive combination of work and study, determination to succeed, self-discipline and team working ability are all essential attributes.
