Apprenticeship Ireland

Apprenticeships are an exciting and proven way for employers to develop talent for their company and industry. Apprenticeships are designed by industry-led groups, supporting growth and competitiveness. Apprentices earn while they learn and build valuable work-ready skills in a chosen occupation. Apprenticeships open-up exciting and rewarding careers, with learning grounded in the practical experience of undertaking a real job. Apprenticeships have long been an accelerator for individual and corporate development in Ireland. Generation Apprenticeship is a major expansion project to more than double the number of learners, of all ages and backgrounds, taking the apprenticeship route. This promises to be a huge source of inspiration in opening apprenticeship into a full range of twentyfirst century industries and skill sets. Helping more people discover and develop their talents through training is at the heart of the national apprenticeship system.
