Electrical Apprentice triumphs at WorldSkills Ireland

Electrical Apprentice Adam triumphs at WorldSkills Ireland with the support of DkIT

Twenty-two-year-old Adam Doherty from Dublin seized the opportunity to take part in WorldSkills Ireland, a collaboration among businesses, industry, education, training, and government that enhances the visibility and importance of skills and apprenticeships, while also preparing today's talent for future careers.

With the support of DkIT lecturers Gerard Galligan and Bernard O’Hare, Adam successfully made it to the competition final and was named the Industrial Control winner in this year’s competition. 

Adam works in his family business, an electrical engineering and contracting business, Vincent Doherty Ltd, founded by his grandfather Vincent in 1970. He began his electrician apprenticeship at the end of 2018, aged 16 and became a fully qualified electrician in March 2023.
