Course Summary
Course Category: Traineeship Courses -
CMETB in conjunction with a number of industries have collaborated to develop a traineeship as an introduction to science and skills required to work in a laboratory, food production, quality control or science-related environment. The science sector plays a major role in Ireland’s economy, with many of the world’s top companies operating bases in the country. One of the reasons these companies have been attracted to Ireland is the skilled and educated young workforce. This traineeship is suitable for learners who are interested in gaining skills necessary for working in laboratories and develop a strong foundation in Science.
