Apprentice award for IT
The Insurance Practitioner Apprenticeship, an initiative developed by IT Sligo and The Insurance Institute, was awarded Best Business and Third Level Institution Collaboration, at the second annual Education Awards ceremony last Thursday at the Ballsbridge Hotel, Dublin.
Dr Michael Barrett, Head of School of Business and Social Sciences at IT Sligo said:
“The initiative was developed as a response to an Accenture report of 2015 which identified a growing problem of lack of skills and shortage of talent in the insurance sector.”
