Gas Networks Ireland’s Apprenticeship Programme 2024
The Gas Networks Ireland Apprenticeship Programme is now open. Gas Networks Ireland is recruiting apprentices to commence training in October 2024.
The apprentice will train and qualify in one of the following crafts:
- Mechanical Automation and Maintenance Fitting
- Electrical Instrumentation
- Plumbing
We will partner with SOLAS over the four-year programme ensuring our new apprentices are trained to the highest standard. The training will include on-site training with Gas Networks Ireland Technical training coaches where the apprentice will get practical experience on the gas network. This specialised training will take place in our Technical Training Centre. The apprentices will also attend formal classes in the Educational Training Boards and in the appropriate Technological University. The apprentices will attend ‘Understanding the Business’ modules to ensure they have an appreciation of the entire Gas Networks Ireland business and will partake in personal development training.
On completion of the Apprenticeship Programme, successful trainees will be awarded a QQI Advanced Level 6 Certificate. This is recognised nationally and internationally as the requirement for craftsperson status.
Apprentices will be based out of Cork, Dublin or Galway.
