APPRENTICESHIPS & TRAINEESHIPS
WHAT IS AN
APPRENTICESHIP?
An apprenticeship is an exciting combination of learning in an educational institution and work-based learning with a company. The apprenticeship model provides the opportunity to earn a salary as an employee while gaining on the job knowledge and skills to support classroom-based learning.
A salary is paid to the apprentice for the duration of their apprenticeship training. An apprenticeship leads to a nationally recognised qualification under the NFQ framework
WHAT IS A
TRAINEESHIP?
A traineeship is an educational programme developed by an Education and Training (ETB) working with industry employers.
The Traineeship is a combination classroom-based learning with workplace experience. The duration of a Traineeship varies between 6-20 months depending on the specifics of the program. Each program is designed to meet identified industry needs. At least 30% of the learning time is dedicated to on-the-job learning. Successful completion of a Traineeship leads to an award at NFQ Levels 4-6.
