The TU Dublin Access to Apprenticeship programme is part funded by the HEA, with one third of the cost over the past three years being met from HEA funding. The programme is highly innovative and targeted to local needs, supporting young people to gain skills and experience relevant to craft apprenticeship.

Under the recently published Action Plan for Apprenticeship 2021-2025, the impacts of and outcomes from the TU Dublin Access to Apprenticeship programme and other interventions across the sector such as the 500+ pre-apprenticeship places and the female apprentice bursary will be examined to provide an evidence base for best practice and future interventions.
