Apprenticeships & Traineeships

Learn a trade that builds something real

Every staircase we make is designed, machined, and installed in-house by skilled qualified tradespeople, many of whom learned the trade on the floor with us.

An apprenticeship or traineeship at Stairlock puts you alongside tradespeople who have spent their careers mastering the craft. You’ll be learning a genuine skill, earning while you do so, and gaining a nationally recognised qualification. All while setting yourself up for long-term success.

Since 2017 we’ve supported 6 trainees and 13 apprentices through to qualification, and 12 of them have stayed on to build their careers with us. We keep 12 apprenticeships running at any one time, with 4 qualifying each year and four new apprentices starting in their place.
