Higgins Coatings Partners with SEDA College NT to Inspire the Next Generation of Tradespeople
Higgins Coatings is proud to announce our new partnership with SEDA College NT, as an industry partner - supporting their Construction and Trade Program, commencing in 2026.
Through the program, Higgins will provide students with valuable, real-world learning opportunities including worksite visits, mentoring, guest presentations, and structured work placements. By opening our worksites and sharing decades of experience in commercial painting and maintenance services, we aim to help students gain the skills, confidence, and industry connections needed to launch successful careers in the trades.
“This partnership is about more than just work experience – it’s about showing students what’s possible,” said Matthew Steers, Darwin Branch Manager. “We’re excited to provide young people with exposure to the diverse career pathways available in our industry, and to play a role in shaping the next generation of tradespeople.”
This initiative is part of Higgins’ broader commitment to community engagement, education, and career development, helping create opportunities for local young people to build meaningful futures in the painting and maintenance industry.
