The Cairn Apprenticeship Programme
The Cairn Apprenticeship Programme is designed to attract and train the next generation of our industry, so they can contribute to building a sustainable Ireland where people can thrive.
Our ambition is to bolster Ireland's construction industry by addressing the skills gap and attracting new talent. In alignment with the government's Housing for All strategy, the programme plays a pivotal role in increasing the number of construction apprentices across the residential sector.
Investing in the future of the Industry
Cairn is investing €10M over next 5 years to the Cairn Apprenticeship Programme to support our supply chain and broader industry through specific initiatives, which will help to retain current apprentices and remove barriers to growth of the industry talent pipeline. This programme offers tutoring, educational programs, financial support, and engages with educational institutions to encourage careers in construction.
Innovation
The Cairn Apprenticeship Programme offers apprentices the chance to immerse themselves in some of Ireland's most innovative residential construction projects. Learn at the cutting-edge of construction, from Passive Standard housing at scale to Ireland's newest and most sustainable new town.
Participants will gain hands-on experience with innovative sustainable building technologies within specialised learning zones. This program not only equips apprentices with invaluable practical skills but also fosters their growth as future leaders in the construction industry.
