Horticulture Apprenticeships

Teagasc Horticulture Apprenticeships Information for students who would like to explore the new apprenticeship in Horticulture which was recently launched by Minister Simon Harris.

All our information is available at the following link including our recent information webinar on the apprenticeship - Click here ...

The apprenticeships are run in collaboration with SOLAS & GenerationApprenticeship, with educational training provided by Teagasc.

Information for potential Apprentices is available at the following link - Click here ...

Please note: An apprentice must be currently employed by an approved employer in order to be eligible. SOLAS approved employers should be listed on apprenticeship.ie

However, if you are currently in full-time employment with an employer who is un-registered and believe they could be interested in joining the programme, it is recommended to approach them with information on the programme to assess if they are both willing to participate & nominate you as an apprentice.

If you are not currently in full-time employment, we recommend putting together a strong cv & cover letter and either approach approved employers listed through the aforementioned website or approach potential employers in a similar manner to assess their interest.

The FAQ available via the link below will offer further guidance on Apprentices - Click here ...

Please also read through the attached Information Guide for a full breakdown of the programme & its structure.

I hope all of the above is useful to you; have a read through it all and if it suits we can arrange a chat about your particular circumstances & the best route for furthering your professional development in Horticulture.
