DIT Young Women in Apprenticeships Open Day

Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) is hosting a Young Women in Apprenticeships Open Day. The event is designed to encourage young women to take up an apprenticeship as a great career option in one of the many apprenticeship areas available. 

DIT are inviting young women from secondary schools, their career guidance teachers and young women from the Dublin area who may be thinking of starting an apprenticeship and want to learn more about apprenticeships and the opportunities available once you complete an apprenticeship, to the Open Day.

The Access to Apprenticeship programme is currently recruiting for the next intake group, starting on the 3rd of April. Any young women interested in the programme are very welcome to come along to the event. DIT can provide more information on the day about the programme and answer any questions in relation to the application form and selection process.

A number of employers from across the Engineering, Construction, Electrical and Transport sectors are attending to promote the employment opportunities within their own organisations. Any employers with female apprentices have also been asked to bring these advocates along to the event.

Access to Apprenticeship programme: 

DIT are currently recruiting for this last group of the pilot programme starting on the 3rd of April, 2018. It is a 12-week course introducing young people (16-24 years old) from areas of socio-economic disadvantage to a number of apprenticeships in the Transport, Construction, Electrical and Engineering sectors.

Included in the 12 week course is a 2-week work placement with companies actively employing apprentices. The Access to Apprenticeship course is free to all candidates and open to young people across Dublin. The programme is supported by ESB and JP Morgan.
