Council recruited eight apprentices last year
SOUTH Dublin County Council recruited eight apprentices in 2017 as part of a workforce plan.
Fianna Fáil Councillor Paul Foley asked the council for details of the apprenticeship programme at Monday’s monthly meeting.
In response, SDCC said they have developed an apprenticeship programme with 14 posts identified across painters, plumbers, carpenters, fitter mechanics and bricklayers.
“The programme is developed in accordance with the requirements set out by Solas for providing apprenticeships as it is a national qualification that is awarded on completion.
“Full information on the apprenticeship programme is available on a dedicated website www.apprenticeship.ie. To date the council has recruited eight apprentices and further recruitment will take place in 2018 to fill the remaining positions.”
