Inspiring Future Generations in Home Improvement
At SEHBAC, our commitment to nurturing future talent is not just a mission, but a necessity. Recently, we welcomed students from Southview School to our Colchester showroom, thanks to a collaboration with Ductu, an organization dedicated to bridging the gap between employers and students, especially those with special educational needs. This initiative provides valuable workplace exposure and insights into diverse career paths.
Hands-On Experience with Industry Experts
During their visit, four enthusiastic students explored our impressive showroom that features over 50 window and door designs and live product demonstrations. Pete Wheeler, our Managing Director, engaged with the students through an informative presentation detailing the various career roles in the home improvement sector, including design, installation, and project management.
The Importance of Giving Back
Reflecting on his career, Pete shared his belief that giving back is essential. “Someone took the time to train us when we were younger,” he said, highlighting the responsibility of industry professionals to mentor the next generation. This ethos resonates deeply with SEHBAC’s values and mission, as it prioritizes the sharing of industry knowledge to ensure a thriving future workforce.
Creating Pathways for Future Careers
The impact of this partnership was clear. The students left feeling inspired and informed about a range of roles available within the home improvement industry. Whether they were keen on design, craftsmanship, or project management, the educational experience offered a glimpse into a promising future. With Pete's intriguing insights, including his secret to success, students were left wanting to learn more, which underscores the effective mentorship that can shape their careers.

As we continue to engage with the younger community, we invite homeowners and home buyers to recognize the value of home improvement not just as a market opportunity, but as a platform for change and inspiration for future talents.
