What is…Learn+Work?
TU Dublin’s Learn+Work programme is a professional traineeship programme providing a pipeline of skilled in-demand work-ready talent into STEM industries through industry partnership.
Learn+Work blends the strength of a university education with an apprenticeship-style work placement. This course is designed specifically to create work-ready university graduates in the shortest possible time-frame.
Each year Learn+Work students spend 5 months in full-time study and then 7 months on placement with a company 4 days per week, returning to university 1 day per week during term time. Students are paid while on placement.
As a result this is an intensive course, that runs 12 months each year, instead of the standard 9 months, so students do not get the traditional summer break while on this course, but they are entitled to annual leave days on a pro-rata basis while on work placement.
