This episode was brought to you by Top Drawer Talent the Supply Chain & Procurement Recruitment Specialists #AD. In this week’s episode of the 10 Forty Podcast we dive into the world of apprenticeships with Irish Rail. We're excited to host Suzanne, Head of Talent Development, and Conor, Apprenticeship Development Executive at Irish Rail. They bring invaluable insights into Irish Rail's comprehensive apprenticeship offerings, for Heavy Vehicle Mechanics, Fitters, Electricians, and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing)/Engineering Technicians. Suzanne walks us through the critical steps of applying, including details about the application and interview processes. Meanwhile, Conor shares his inspiring journey with Irish Rail, from starting out as a fitter, rapidly advancing to a supervisor, then to a Duty Manager, and finally moving into the technical department. His story doesn't stop there; he now focuses on apprenticeship development, aiming to pass on the extensive knowledge he has gained over an impressive 25-year tenure. Additionally, we discuss Irish Rail's innovative "Try a Trade Day", an initiative that allows schools to sign up and gives students a practical insight into the various trades available. This episode is packed with valuable advice and stories that will benefit anyone interested in apprenticeships. This was a great conversation with Suzanne and Conor, filled with tips, experiences, and opportunities for aspiring apprentices.
