We work closely with Donegal ETB, putting many of our staff through their training programs, and we have also collaborated to create office-based and on-the-ground training courses that have proven highly successful.
In addition, our partnership with ATU allows us to offer students valuable placements within our office, and we welcome graduates from the college into our workforce each year. We also support young talent by providing transition year students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and explore career paths in our field.
