A large crowd of newly qualified apprentices from Tipperary ETB, KCETB and WWETB were joined by friends and family at Hotel Minella in Clonmel recently for a Graduation ceremony to mark their achievements.
The event on Friday, October 4, was hosted by Tipperary ETB, with addresses from Dr Mary Liz Trant, Director of the National Apprenticeship Office, as well as Bernadette Cullen, Chief Executive of Tipperary ETB, and Matthew Ryan, Training Services Manager at Tipperary ETB.
140 Tipperary ETB apprentices have graduated in areas including Electrical, Carpentry and Joinery, Metal Fabrication, MAMF, Wood Manufacturing and Finishing, Commis Chef, Plumbing, Heavy Vehicle Mechanics, Motor Mechanics, Agricultural Mechanics and Construction Plant Fitting.
As well as praising the achievements of the apprentices, Tipperary ETB Chief Executive Bernadette Cullen acknowledged the importance of local employers for providing opportunities to apprentices in the county.
She also thanked local Oireachtas members for their ongoing support for Further Education and Training provision in Tipperary.
Also in October, Tipperary ETB welcomed its first class of Phase 2 Electrical apprentices to its purpose-built workshop at Carrick-on-Suir Further Education and Training Centre, strengthening the education pathway for men and women into this vital trade.
