In this episode of Savage Insights, hosted by Ronan Savage, we explore how apprenticeships are reshaping career paths and helping businesses build future-ready talent. Our guests including Margaret McNamee, Southern Regional College, Elizabeth O’Connor, MJM Marine and Conor O’Hagan, Hunter Savage, share first-hand insights on how employers can create meaningful apprenticeship programmes, the benefits for both learners and organisations, and why apprenticeships should be seen as a first-choice route into skilled employment — not just an alternative to university. Whether you're an employer considering apprentices for the first time or a candidate exploring your options, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.
