Combilift in Monaghan are now taking enrollments for 2020/21.
When it comes to your future career there are so many things you need to take into account.
Like, how sustainable is the profession you want to enter into? How long will it take you to break in?
And most importantly what will you actually enjoy doing that job every day?
If you're seeking a richly rewarding career, working outdoors, with the ability to work all over the globe - a traineeship could be for you.
And when it comes to traineeships, there's hardly anyone who does them better than Combilift in Monaghan.
So before you go and jump head first into a 3rd level education degree you aren't fully convinced is the right avenue for you...
Here are five reasons why a traineeship program with Combilift focusing on engineering, electronics and hydraulics could be the right option for you.
1. No rent.
One of the best aspects of a Combilift traineeship is that you can complete a qualification locally in Monaghan, meaning you can live locally and get a job locally.
This means you don't necessarily have to travel to a different part of the country and pay for student accommodation or find a rental property or pay for travel costs.
2. No course fees.
Not entitled to a grant?
Doesn't matter, any students who aren't eligible for a grant will receive a bursary of €100 per week to go towards their course.
3. Quality is assured.
Anyone signed up for a Combilift traineeship is getting a top of the line education in the industry.
The course is a recognised qualification of QQI (Quality & Qualifications Ireland) Level 5 that is industry designed and led.
This means you won't be wasting any time learning things that aren't directly relevant to you.
4. There's no better way to learn than by doing.
Extensive work placement with Combilift is a part of the course.
So there's no danger of you finishing your traineeship without a clue of what you're walking into, which leads us perfectly into point number five.
5. A guaranteed job interview.
All students who complete the course successfully are interviewed for employment with Combilift.
In the past 5 years 80% of those who completed the course took up employment while others used the qualification to progress to degree courses.
