Manufacturing Engineering Apprenticeships, Ibec

The Manufacturing Engineering Apprenticeships were developed by the Irish Medtech Association to meet the needs of a broad range of manufacturing sectors, from medtech, biopharma, and polymer technology, to engineering, machinery, construction and even food, to meet the needs of businesses both large and small.These earn and learn programmes combine on-the-job learning and academic education with the Atlantic Technological University Galway as the lead provider. The Manufacturing Engineering Apprenticeships are an excellent way for companies to upskill talent with businesses using these apprenticeship programmes to help both new hires and existing staff achieve their career goals. While the potential of the apprenticeships to act as an alternative to traditional university degrees is highlighted by the fact that to date the apprentices have earned grades 10%-20% higher than the corresponding full-time students.With no upper age limit to entry onto the programmes they provide a structured way towards acquiring a Level 6 or Level 7 qualification covering a broad range of subjects such as manufacturing automation, engineering science, and lean manufacturing. The apprentices earn while learning and gain a national qualification with which they achieve an excellent career route. Through their study towards professional qualifications and the application of these learnings in the company, apprentices are building their technical knowledge which in turn feeds back into the business.
