Carpentry & Joinery - Apprenticeship - Cork College of FET - Mallow Campus | Construction, Architecture & Property Sector Apprenticeship Course

In order to secure an apprenticeship, you must first secure a contract with an employer. You must apply directly to an employer rather than to the training provider. Once you have found an employer to take you on as an apprentice, your employer must then register you as an apprentice with SOLAS. Your training will then be organised through the local ETB, Institute of Technology or Higher Education College. All apprenticeship courses are run subject to demand.

A report commissioned by the Construction Federation of Ireland has identified that the Irish Construction Industry is set to grow by 9% annually and will require 30,800 carpenters and joiners by 2020. Meet the needs of this industry with an apprenticeship in Carpentry and Joinery.

Realist

Realists are usually interested in 'things' - such as buildings, mechanics, equipment, tools, electronics etc. Their primary focus is dealing with these - as in building, fixing, operating or designing them. Involvement in these areas leads to high manual skills, or a fine aptitude for practical design - as found in the various forms of engineering.

Realists like to find practical solutions to problems using tools, technology and skilled work. Realists usually prefer to be active in their work environment, often do most of their work alone, and enjoy taking decisive action with a minimum amount of discussion and paperwork.
