Ireland’s highly skilled talent pool continues to be a key global competitive advantage for the sector. As companies invest and move up the innovation value chain, the quality and expertise of the workforce remain critical to sustaining growth and leadership.
The demand for skills in Ireland remains strong, underscoring the need for continued investment in education. Building a future pipeline of top-tier talent requires early and sustained promotion of science and technology throughout the academic journey. Nurturing this talent from an early stage is essential to ensuring long-term competitiveness and innovation.
The Laboratory apprenticeships
The Laboratory apprenticeships are extremely varied in that they combine paid on the job training with academic study. These programmes are suitable for leaving certificate students who wish to pursue a career in science, and current industry employees looking to up-skill or train in a laboratory environment. It is an outstanding opportunity for students to acquire real and practical experience while earning money. In addition to this, the programmes have proven very beneficial for Irish employers. Taking on a laboratory apprentice allows companies an unrivalled opportunity to compete both nationally and internationally by growing their talent pipeline and ensuring students gain valuable, hands on experience from day one.
