Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is the recognised way people are trained in a craft trade or profession. Apprentices are employees. An apprenticeship provides on-the-job training with an employer. It usually alternates between off-the-job training in an education centre and on-the-job training at your employer's workplace. An apprenticeship generally lasts for 2 to 4 years, during which time the apprentice will spend different periods in off-the-job training.

Trainees
Trainees are full time students and not employed with the work placement company. Traineeships give participants the opportunity to develop cutting edge skills and knowledge on-the-job, making them more skilled, more employable and enhancing their career options. Trainees can secure employment with the work placement company after completion of the course and achievement of the award. Traineeships are linked with various employers throughout Cavan and Monaghan e.g. Combilift, ENTEKRA, Esker Lodge Nursing home, Monaghan Mushrooms, Lakeland Dairies and many others.

Skills for Work
Skills for Work is a programme aimed at providing educational training opportunities to help employees deal with the basic skills demands of the workplace. The programme is particularly targeted at workers who may not have the confidence to embrace change. It encourages them to put themselves forward for general training opportunities, or take on new roles and responsibilities. The programme gives employers the opportunity to provide quality training to employees, at no cost to the employer or employee, as the programme is funded by the Irish Government under the Department of Education and SOLAS.
