Sales apprentices from across the country celebrated their graduation at a ceremony held on Friday, March 8th in The Landmark Hotel, Carrick on Shannon.
Graduates who successfully completed apprenticeships in Sales were presented with their certificates by Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education and Training Board (MSLETB) Chief Executive Tom Grady and Frank Feighan TD.
Developed in collaboration with industry experts and supported by MSLETB, the Sales Apprenticeship Programme aims to bridge the sales talent gap. Its primary goal is to provide committed, adaptable, and skilled individuals to SMEs across the country.
Jessica Martin, National Programme Manager of the National Sales Apprenticeship, commended the graduates, employers, and mentors for their dedication and support throughout the two-year program.
The Sales Apprenticeship is delivered through a combination of on-the-job and off-the-job training that allows apprentices to earn while they learn and gain an internationally recognised qualification.
This award-winning programme is now in its fourth year and over 120 employers are using this programme to enhance the skills of existing sales staff and train individuals aspiring to excel in sales careers. With zero training costs, employers can also avail themselves of an employer grant worth €4,000 for each apprentice registered.
Employers may choose from seven locations nationwide: Cork, Dublin, Kerry, Leitrim, Louth, Mayo, and Tipperary. For more information contact apprenticeship@msletb.ie or call 1800 100 100
