Translink launches 2021 Apprenticeship Programme

Translink have launched their 2021 Apprenticeship opportunities and are looking to attract local talent. These roles cover a wide range of specialised areas including Bus, Rail & Track Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Plumbing, Joinery and Electrical teams. Translink hope to recruit 30 new Apprentices who will help shape Northern Ireland’s transport transformation for a greener economic recovery from Covid-19.
Successful applicants will play a vital role in the delivery of Translink’s ambitious growth plans and support a £3billion transport decarbonisation plan over the next decade with a view to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040 and to become Climate Positive by 2050.
Translink currently boasts an 80 strong apprenticeship team and is committed to diversity and a culture of continuous improvement; new recruits will benefit from mentoring and guidance from experienced specialists to help them reach their full potential. As well as providing on-the-job skill development, the programme will provide apprentices with the experience and qualifications to develop a dynamic and fulfilling career. Many Apprentices continue their careers with Translink and some senior managers joined the business using this same scheme. Apprenticeships will start in September 2021 and last for 4 years. They will combine working on site in Translink for 4 days a week with one day spent at college or university working towards a recognised qualification.
