Dear Horticulture Employers,
We are inviting you to consider taking on an apprentice in 2025 through the Horticulture Apprenticeship Program. As a leader in Ireland’s horticultural sector, your contribution to the industry’s growth and excellence is both recognized and valued.
Apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity to invest in the future of the horticultural industry by nurturing and developing skilled individuals while meeting your business’s growing demands. This program blends practical, on-the-job training with academic learning, ensuring that apprentices gain the knowledge and expertise necessary to contribute meaningfully to your operations.
Benefits of Recruiting an Apprentice:
• Skilled Workforce: Tailor the apprentice’s training to meet the specific needs of your business.
• Fresh Perspectives: Benefit from motivated individuals bringing new ideas and enthusiasm.
• Government Support: Financial incentive to support employers.

The process to recruit an apprentice is straightforward, and we are here to assist you every step of the way.
If you are interested in this opportunity or would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to arrange a meeting or provide further details to help you make an informed decision.
