An exciting new 6-month traineeship programme has today been announced by Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board and Clenn Construction. Learners from the ETB have already commenced work-based learning as part of the traineeship at a manufacturing site in Galvone.

Commenting on the new traineeship programme, Eimear Brophy, Further Education and Training Manager, said: “This is a great opportunity for Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board learners to learn on-the-job construction techniques, building and health and safety. This will equip them with a QQI qualification and pave their way to careers in the construction industry.”
