Range of apprenticeships approved

Chances to train as apprentices in jobs ranging from animation to supply chain management are set to open from early 2019.

These are among the 26 areas in which proposals for new apprenticeship schemes have been approved for further development. They are now expected to become open for applications to relevant employers within a year to 15 months.

The details, to be announced this morning by Minister of State John Halligan and Education Minister Richard Bruton, are the result of the latest call for programmes to widen the range of apprenticeships.
