Our story

Our story

SEATS was established in 2023 by local authorities and businesses united by a shared mission: to address current and future skills gaps in and around Essex. Led by businesses for businesses, we are a not-for-profit organisation funded by Thames Freeport, operating across Essex and the London Boroughs of Havering and Barking & Dagenham.

Since Mid 2024, when our dedicated team was appointed, we grew to become committed to bridging the gap between education providers and industry needs, for a wide range of training plus apprenticeships.
