Apprenticeship Strategic Implementation Plan

Abstract

The vision of the Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS) Strategic Plan 2023 – 2026, is to be a catalyst for sustainable change through education and research that transforms lives, in the Midlands and Midwest regions and the world beyond. The Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (DFHERIS) Action Plan for Apprenticeship, 2021–2025 sets out to reimagine the apprenticeship system in Ireland and to recreate one that is flexible and responsive, providing a strong value proposition for employers and potential apprentices, is attractive and easy to engage with, and delivers high standards and sought after qualifications. This Apprenticeship Strategic Implementation Plan lays out the ways and means through which TUS will be an active participant in, and contribute to, the DFHERIS Action Plan for Apprenticeship through the vision and priorities of the university Strategic Plan. This articulates the TUS commitment to the apprenticeship model of education and the vision of our Technological University for playing a leading role in the delivery of the Action Plan for Apprenticeships through the prism of the TUS Strategic Plan.
