Strike a balance between work and education with Teagasc’s Careers Hub at GLAS.
Hosted by Teagasc, the focus will be on the value of upskilling those currently working in the industry. As well as the role final year students, graduates and alumni can play in your organisation.
Join us at 12pm in the Learning Theatre for An overview and update on the 2025 Horticulture Apprenticeships in Teagasc.
Every horticulture business needs to look at the apprenticeship programme and evaluate if it will be able to offer a skills solution in the medium to long term.
This year we will see the completion of the programme for the first cohort of Horticulture apprentices that started the new Horticulture apprenticeship in 2023. That group, which were all Landscapers are all working in the industry and have completed their College based part of the programme. These young people are now ideally placed to grow their careers in the Hort sector and add innovation and energy to the sector.
The Teagasc College of Horticulture in conjunction with the industry is now entering the third year of intake of Horticulture apprentices at the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin. Currently there are up to 100 horticulture businesses across the country registered in full or in part , to take on apprentices in Horticulture.
If you want to find out more information and chat directly to staff involved in the programme then please visit us at the Teagasc stand at GLAS 2025.
