Motor Industry to recruit 150 apprentices


The Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) is looking to recruit 150 apprentices throughout Ireland. Apprenticeships include Motor Mechanics, Heavy Vehicle Mechanics, Vehicle Body Repairs, Agricultural Mechanics, and Construction Plant Fitting, writes Trish Whelan.

The announcement that SIMI’s member companies have committed to recruiting this number of apprentices was made today at the Intreo Careers Fair in Dublin Castle.

In order to undertake an apprenticeship a candidate must find a suitable employer to take them on for the duration of their four-year apprenticeship. They then register with SOLAS who oversee the training programme and award of the National Craft Certificate Standard.

The Motor Industry employs over 42,000 people throughout Ireland in a variety of positions. While there is currently a shortage of apprentices within the industry, this has also been seen in other trade sectors.

Brian Cooke, SIMI Director General Designate said today: “This is a wonderful opportunity for those who wish to pursue a technical career while experiencing both a colleague and a working environment. With the transition underway to cutting edge automotive technologies such as electric cars, hybrid vehicles, and autonomous vehicles, gather pace there has never been a more exciting time to be a part of the Industry.”

Regina Doherty TD, Minister for Employment Affairs & Social Protection was present at the announcement. She said there has never been a more exciting time to be a part of the Industry.
