Apprenticeship registrations on the rise across the South East

Apprenticeship registrations on the rise across the South East

The Waterford-Wexford Education Training Board have reported a year on year increase in numbers taking up apprenticeship training courses in Waterford and the South-East.

"Apprenticeship registrations nationally are 36% ahead of where they were last year," says The bodies' Programme Manager for Apprenticeships, Eamonn McGettigan, "Registrations in Waterford and Wexford are slightly ahead, we have about 30 new registrations every month."

He says that the recession has contributed to a current lack of skilled tradespeople, but that looks to be coming to an end.

"Companies are starting to recruit again, so it's looking good into the future."
