New Civil Engineering Apprenticeship Programme Announced
Over 20 employers in Northern Ireland are to take part in a new civil engineering apprenticeship programme.
The Work + programme, in association with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), is offering 50 new apprentices the opportunity to gain industry experience, and provide a direct progression pathway to higher levels of professional and technical work.
Economy Minister Simon Hamilton launched the new scheme and said it will allow apprentices to work and gain the qualifications, experience and broader transferable skills they need for long-term progression in education and employment.
Minister Hamilton said: "These new apprenticeships support the findings of the Northern Ireland Skills Barometer report, which identified civil engineering as a growing sector which will have high demand, in the top 25 sectors, for leavers with intermediate to higher level qualifications, over the next 10 years."
