Fastrack finding future public sector tech leaders
Listen now
Description
In this episode of Transform Gov, we explore the innovative FIT apprenticeship program, a fast-track initiative designed to propel individuals with the right aptitude and attitude into successful careers in tech—no need for top CAO points. We had the privilege of speaking with two current apprentices and a mentor, who shared their inspiring journey. They explained how they applied to the program, managed by FIT for the Irish public sector (applications available on www.publicjobs.ie), and the unique learn-and-earn model that combines hands-on experience with invaluable mentorship. This program is revolutionizing public service recruitment, providing a diverse talent pipeline for those eager to make a meaningful impact on society, not just profits. It’s a brilliant opportunity for anyone looking to take a different route into the tech industry, one where their work benefits the nation. Hosted on Acast.
