Further to previous correspondence in relation to our Apprenticeship programme, we have now launched our campaign for this year. We are aware that these are unprecedented times for your students and we wanted to let you know that our Apprenticeships in Iarnród Éireann are open for applications.
Below are the focal & vital trades within the our Apprenticeship Course which are as follows: - Apprentice Fitter - Apprentice Electrician - Apprentice Motor Mechanic The Apprenticeship programme allows the carefully selected few to learn in a supportive, close knit, hands on environment and their training will be carried out through various locations across the country. Our very own CEO, Jim Meade, began his career in Irish Rail as an Apprentice – illustrating the level of possibilities open to those who apply themselves with us in Iarnród Éireann. If you have any queries at all about the Apprentice Programme, please contact us at [email protected] and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
