New Civil Engineering Apprenticeships start in ATU

45 apprentices commenced two new apprenticeship programmes, the B Eng in Civil Engineering by Apprenticeship and the Higher Certificate in Civil Engineering by Apprenticeship, in Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Galway on Monday last (9 September 2024).

The programmes blend online lectures with on-campus workshops and laboratory practicals, with work-based learning at the apprentices' workplaces. The first week was a residential on-campus week which included lectures by guest speakers from the civil engineering industry and attendance at construction site visits generously hosted by John Paul Construction and Carey Building Contractors.  

ATU is the lead provider for these new Civil Engineering apprenticeships. Last year (2023), ATU Sligo welcomed their first cohort and a further 47 apprentices this September to the Sligo campus.
