DIT is delighted to have been successful in securing a grant from J.P Morgan Chase Foundation and ESB to develop an innovative project to support the transition of young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage on to an apprenticeship scheme. The Access to Apprenticeship Project is being developed on a pilot basis by DIT’s College of Engineering and Built Environment. The pilot project is working with key stakeholders in inner-city Dublin to address the challenges facing young people (16-24) from disadvantaged communities in accessing apprentice positions.

In order to fully maximise the potential of this programme and to ensure that we are delivering a project that has the potential to be scaled nationally we would like to work with an external agency to support the interim reporting and final evaluation of the programme.
