The Mallow National Monuments District, comprising of areas in Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford, offers a variety of opportunities for individuals interested in craft apprenticeships. The Office of Public Works has recently announced the opening of applications for craft apprenticeships in carpentry and joinery, stonecutting and stonemasonry, construction plant fitting, and brick and stonelaying.
These apprenticeships provide valuable training in skilled trades, allowing individuals to develop their expertise in specific crafts. The Office of Public Works is seeking applications from today, and interested candidates will have a three-week window to submit their applications, with the application period closing on October 9th.
Craft apprenticeships offer a unique opportunity for individuals to gain hands-on experience and practical skills in a specific trade. Carpentry and joinery apprenticeships focus on the intricate craft of working with wood, from constructing structures to creating intricate designs. Stonecutting and stonemasonry apprenticeships involve the art of shaping and working with stone to create beautiful structures and ornaments.
Construction plant fitting apprenticeships focus on the maintenance and repair of heavy machinery used in construction, while brick and stonelaying apprenticeships teach the skills required to build structures using bricks and stones.
These opportunities in the Mallow National Monuments District provide a chance for individuals to learn from highly skilled professionals and gain experience in traditional crafts that are an integral part of our cultural heritage.
