Cavan and Monaghan Education and Training Board (CMETB) in partnership with Combilift have developed a Traineeship course to teach learners about engineering and to prepare them for work as Assembly Technicians within Combilift.

The Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) Engineering Traineeship prepares Trainees for work as future Engineers/Technicians and combines theory and practical industry experience to provide a basic understanding of Manufacturing and Engineering Processes. The Trainee will complete 26 weeks classroom-based learning in Monaghan Institute and 12 weeks work placement in Combilift spread out over the course of the 9 months.

This course is ideal if you are a practical person who enjoys working with their hands and as part of a team. On successful completion of this course. graduates can apply for employment opportunities within Combilift for example roles such as Electrical Technician, Assembly Technician, Testing and PDI Technician, Facilities & Maintenance Technician, Service Engineer, Lean & Quality Engineer or Control Systems Engineer.

There is also an opportunity to be considered for the OEM Apprenticeship programme. Holders of a QQI Level 5 Engineering Technology award also have the opportunity to progress to third level degree programmes at Universities/Institutes of Technology through the Higher Education Links Scheme.
