GSK look to recruit pharma techs and engineering apprentices
GSK Sligo is launching a recruitment campaign for its apprenticeship programme, and is seeking to recruit a Pharmaceutical Technical ( Pharma Tech) apprentice and two Engineering apprentices to join its 200 strong workforce at its Sligo site. The national GSK pharmaceutical technical programme, now in its second year is being offered in Sligo for the first time in 2017 while it is also seeking to recruit two engineering apprentices to the site.
Leaving Cert students who are interested in applying for the apprenticeship programme are encouraged to apply for the programme by visiting www. ie. gsk. com and applying before 20th March 2017.
As a GSK Pharma Tech Apprentice, the successful candidate will develop the skills and knowledge required to operate the systems and equipment of one of the world’s leading manufacturers of consumer and pharmaceutical products. This apprenticeship is a three- year, fully funded programme leading towards a foundation degree in Applied Chemical Science Technology.
Similarly. the two engineering apprentices will benefit from four yours of on- the- job training while studying towards a globally recognised National Craft Qualification with the opportunity to go on to study for a level 7/ 8 third level degree in engineering.
As well as earning an internationally recognised qualification, participants in both programmes will gain valuable on- the- job experience, a competitive base salary and access to GSK’s benefit scheme.
Pauline Finan at GSK Sligo said “I’m delighted that GSK Sligo is offering these apprenticeships. As a global manufacturing site, it’s important that we have a strong pipeline of talent to play a key role in helping the company supply the skin healthcare products we make, serving millions of patients around the world.”
