Learn About Traineeships
A traineeship is a structured training programme designed to meet the specific skills needs of an industry and leads to nationally recognised qualifications.
The project is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union.
What is a Traineeship?
Traineeships combine directed off-the-job training (classroom-based learning) with on-the-job training (work-based learning), with a minimum of 30% of the programme delivered in the workplace. This blended approach enables participants to develop practical skills and gain real work experience while reinforcing the theory learned in the classroom.
Local Employers and CMETB design all aspects of the traineeship, from programme development and recruitment through to delivery, ensuring it is tailored to address identified skills gaps and workforce needs within the industry.

Marie-Therese Ward
As a mature student the thought of applying for the traineeship was a bit daunting but I am glad I decided to apply. The OEM Engineering Technology Traineeship offers a mixture of theory and practical learning in the classroom. It has allowed me to try a variety of subjects like electronics, auto electricity and hydraulics with practical classes like engineering workshop processes.
We also get to do multiple 2-3 week work placements in Combilift in areas such as the assembly lines, electrical department and testing areas. I would encourage anyone who would like to pursue a career in engineering or may have an interest in hands on learning to do the course.
Course Studied: Level 5 OEM Engineering Technology Traineeship
I never studied practical subjects in secondary school, and I had no real hands-on experience, but I was eager to learn
Jake Cregan
I chose this course because I knew I wasn’t ready for university, and I knew I wanted to get out of working in hospitality. I heard about this course through friends of family, and I had heard great things about CombiLift. I never studied practical subjects in secondary school, and I had no real hands-on experience, but I was eager to learn.
So far, I have really enjoyed all aspects of the course, from working hands on in the workshop to learning how to make 3D models in SolidWorks. There is much to learn from the work placements in CombiLift and it has given me the confidence that by the end of this course, I’ll be prepared to work full time out in the global headquarters. Although I would like to continue on to the apprenticeship! There is a good buzz about the factory canteen, everyone I’ve worked with has been friendly and understanding. I wasn’t overloaded with work on the placements, but I was given enough to keep me occupied and keep me learning.
The tutors here at Monaghan Institute have been friendly and helpful, Matthew Ward is our course coordinator and he’s down to earth. I’m part of the student union, helping organise events around the college, the most recent being a Christmas quiz.
This course leads to a career in original equipment manufacturing but could also branch out to all areas of engineering. I think it makes for a great start!

Jack White
After I had finished my leaving cert, I was unsure what I wanted to do going forward. I found the OEM Engineering Traineeship with Combilift through a friend who was already attending and expressed brilliant things about his experience. I have a keen interest in engineering and metalwork in school, so I decided I would try it out without knowing what specific engineering principle I preferred.
Everything has been great, you get to learn about a lot of different engineering, electronic, and mechanical related subjects whilst in college, and then you get to learn and apply those ideas on your work placements within Combilift. Studying such a wide range of subjects (in Monaghan Institute) can sometimes make it challenging, however with a university like atmosphere, both the classmates and tutors are all excellent and help with any questions I have. I have developed a range of skills which will benefit me in the future, such as metalworking and welding. By the end of the course, I will have a QQI level 5 qualification in Engineering Technology as well as a Level 2 City & Guilds qualification in Hydraulics and a LSS Yellow Belt. On completion of the course I will have an opportunity to seek employment in Combilift or possibly to continue my studies with an OEM Apprenticeship at level 6.
Overall, I would say this course is suited towards people who enjoyed practical subjects such as metalwork or construction in school, are looking for an apprenticeship and want to gain employment in a variety of different fields.

Viesturs Velins
What appealed to me about the OEM Engineering Traineeship was it gave me a chance to study engineering locally. It’s a mixture of theory and hands on learning in the classroom as well as 12 weeks work placements in Combilift, not to mention there are no fees and you receive your own toolbox. I’m hoping to progress to the OEM Engineering Apprenticeship after I complete the Traineeship as I am certain I want to pursue a career in this sector. I would encourage anyone who would like to pursue a career in engineering or may have an interest in hands on learning to do the course.

Daniel Boyle
I wanted to leave school early because theory wasn't for me and I didn't want to go to University. A family friend who worked in Combilift told me about the traineeship. The Level 5 Engineering Technology traineeship combines classroom-based learning with hands on experience. I really enjoyed going out for work experience in Combilift, as it was two and three weeks each time and I learned a lot putting the theory into practice. I would encourage anyone who is interested in working with their hands to do the course. Combilift offered me a job and I am proud to say that I have a full time job doing something I really love

My Story: The real learning happened while carrying out tasks
Article featured in The Irish Independent on August 15 2018. Read the full article here
Daniel Soden
When Daniel Soden left school, he was keen to combine college classes with hands-on experience that could lead to concrete career opportunities in the engineering manufacturing sector.
The former pupil of The Royal School, Cavan started an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Traineeship with Combilift, Co Monaghan, the largest global manufacturer of forklifts. The traineeship is run by Cavan and Monaghan Education and Training Board (CMETB) at Monaghan Institute.
The one-year, Level 5 programme is an example of the growing trend towards a work-based learning approach to qualifications. This one involves 11 weeks in Combilift, in blocks of two/three weeks, and 27 weeks in college. Combilift trainees are paid €100 a week for the nine months of the course.
Daniel, who hails from Scotstown, Co Monaghan, covered topics and skills including engineering and manufacturing processes, fabrication, welding, electrics, electronics and health and safety.
He says "it was good to learn the theory behind these processes and to watch practical demonstrations, but for me the real learning happened when I was actually carrying out the various tasks, when it all came together for me."

It gave me the chance to get an education and it is practical

Gary McCaffrey
What did you study and where?
I studied a one-year engineering course at Monaghan Institute. The course is run in conjunction with Combilift with time split between the college and the factory.
Why did you choose a further education course?
I had applied for a course in engineering in Dundalk IT and got the points for that. I sort of chose this one because it is close to home. I’m from a farming background and I wanted to stay close to home. I like that it gave me the chance to get an education and it is practical as well. I knew this was for me.
What has been the highlight?
You get a knowledge of engineering and then there is the practical part working on the line and helping to build the machines. You get swapped around to different parts in the factory so you get different experiences. Two of the people teaching the course work in Combilift too they gave good advice and support. The practical side really suited me.
