On August 19, 2026, BLANK & SEEGERS welcomed its new apprentices. The company offers various training programs for 2026 and places great emphasis on practical training and individual support of apprentices. The goal is to provide young talents with a solid education and prepare them for the challenges of professional life. BLANK & SEEGERS looks forward to integrating the new apprentices into its team and providing them with an exciting learning environment.
Why practical training in timber construction is crucial
The shortage of skilled workers in the construction industry is one of the biggest challenges facing the sector. In timber construction in particular, the demand for qualified skilled workers is growing continuously. BLANK & SEEGERS relies on practical training that familiarizes young talents with the real demands of the construction site from the start. This means concretely: apprentices not only work in theory, but are directly involved in ongoing construction projects.
How individual support improves training quality
BLANK & SEEGERS places special emphasis on individual support for its apprentices. Each apprentice is deployed and supported according to their strengths and interests. This flexibility not only increases motivation but also ensures higher training quality. Individual support is achieved through regular feedback and the joint definition of realistic learning goals with the apprentices.
What role training plays in securing skilled workers
Training young talents is the most sustainable strategy against the shortage of skilled workers. Companies that train continuously secure qualified employees and operational knowledge that remains in the company long-term. In timber construction especially, well-trained skilled workers are indispensable. BLANK & SEEGERS demonstrates with its commitment that training also makes economic sense: it reduces recruitment costs, minimizes onboarding time, and creates employees who know the company culture from the ground up.
What makes successful training concepts
Structured training requires clear plans with defined milestones. Practical components should be maximized by involving apprentices early in real projects under the guidance of experienced colleagues. Regular feedback and documentation of progress are central. Team integration—for example through joint construction site visits or company events—strengthens team spirit and loyalty to the company.
