The Transport Operations & Commercial Driving Apprenticeship was established and run for the first time in September 2022. It is a testament to the success of the programme to date, to have 21% of our current apprentices nominated for an award within the first year. The programme continues to grow and go from strength to strength. This would not be possible without the unwavering support from our employers who are supporting their apprentices throughout the duration of the programme. We would like to also take the opportunity to thank all our employers and consortium members who have continued to support and develop this programme.
The Transport Operations & Commercial Driving Apprenticeship is Ireland’s first ever apprenticeship for Commercial Driving & the First Qualification on the National Framework of Qualifications linked with the profession of driving! This is a great opportunity to showcase HGV driving as a valued and recognised career.
Congratulations to all the nominees and a special thanks to the employers for their support. We wish you all the best of luck and can’t wait to celebrate the winners revealed at the Autumn 2023 award ceremony.
