Since its inauguration, SEAT’s Apprentice School has trained thousands of students who vouch for the quality and excellence of its training plans.

  • Study and research centres

This series of buildings divided into two independent blocks is located on the corner of Passeig de la Zona Franca and Carrer Cisell. It was designed by the architects Manuel Barbero and Rafael de la Joya. The buildings form part of the large industrial complex of the SEAT factory (Sociedad Española de Automóbiles Turismo). The two blocks are joined together by the entranceway and staircase. One of the buildings houses the Apprentice School which came into operation in October 1957 to train fourteen to sixteen year-old youths as company machine operators. The other building is the foundry with its store and offices. The roofs of the buildings are outstanding: the foundry’s is undulated, with concrete vaulting, and the school’s has a saw-tooth pattern, a feature that adds value and interest to an otherwise very discreet building.
