The FÁS National Traineeship programme is an occupational skills development programme which combines formal training with FÁS and workplace coaching with an employer. The training content and occupational standards for traineeships are developed in consultation with employers, trade union, regulatory bodies and interest groups. The programme is aimed at clients who will enter occupations that entail significant skills requirements which are best acquired through a combination of alternating periods of on and off the job training.
