Hutchies' Cadet Summer School is a 14-week accelerated program that runs from November to February each year.

Led by Hutchies’ experts, the program is packed with real, practical content drawn from more than a century of hands-on experience. Each session is engaging, relevant and focused on the day-to-day skills that matter on site and in the office.

This is a paid opportunity. At the end of the program, suitable cadets will be offered a place in Hutchies’ Cadetship—starting straight away.

Our Cadetship is designed to complement your university studies. It’s flexible, hands-on and tailored to your schedule.

“When I saw the opportunity to join Hutchies as a cadet, I couldn’t say no. I just had to do it. The highlight of the program for me would have to be the site visits. You get to see so many different sites and the fact that you just get to walk through them with the site manager and ask questions, you really learn a lot about projects.”

“I was motivated to join Hutchies Cadet program because I saw it online, I thought it would be an awesome way to get my foot at the door and have some practical experience for construction. One of the highlights was that we had a hands-on day where we got to use power tools and build a little house.”

"I found the cadet program extremely insightful and much more hands on than my past few years at university and have enjoyed getting to know the Hutchies people and culture at the same time. I feel welcomed into the Hutchies community which made the transition from the cadet program and into a team easy."

"The Accelerated Cadet Program has been an incredible learning experience. I have now transitioned smoothly into a team, where I am able to exercise the processes and topics of learnings extensively. I am grateful and appreciative to Warren, Harry, and all of the guest speakers for the opportunity to expand my knowledge and kick start my career. I can now proudly say I am officially Hutchified!"

Hands-on learning

“I thought the tasks would be straightforward, but I was quickly humbled by how challenging they actually were. Every measurement must be exact. The precision is intense – every line, drawing or cut has to be perfect because one mistake can ruin the whole process."
