Why Hire a FIT ICT Tech Apprentice? 

Tech Apprenticeships are a cost-effective way for organisations to transform their business, improve efficiency and build tomorrow’s future leaders. With 2025 Tech Apprenticeship programmes, you can access a pipeline of over 200 interview-ready candidates that will help your business thrive in an ever-evolving digital landscape. 

  1. Address the Skills Gap: 

With the rapid advancement of technology, there is an ever-growing skills gap, making the hiring process even more difficult. Tech Apprenticeships can help close this skills gap, which is why more companies are looking to the apprenticeship model as a long-term talent strategy. 

During the two-year Tech Apprenticeship programme, Apprenticeships combine off-the-job skills training, with on-the-job application. It allows them to gain hands-on technical experience in a real working environment, while also gaining QQI Level 6 qualifications in their chosen field. 

  1. Boost Employee Retention and Loyalty: 

Apprenticeships provide a structured pathway for career development, fostering long-term commitment and reduce turnover costs. Supporting apprentices through mentorship also helps them to grow and feel more fulfilled in their roles, increasing job satisfaction and employee loyalty.  

  1.  Cost-Effective Recruitment: 

Hiring FIT Tech Apprentices is a cost-effective solution to building tech talent. Tech Apprentice Employer Partners can avail of state grants of €2,000 per year per apprentice for the two-year programme.  

A gender-based bursary is also applicable to the Computer Networking Associate Apprenticeship Programme. Learn more about the gender-based bursary here
