Together, we explore three distinctive apprenticeship courses offered by NCI, designed to equip

participants with the skills and qualifications needed to thrive in today's fast-paced work environments. Darragh provides a detailed walkthrough of each
program, including the BA (Honours) in Recruitment Practice (QQI Level 8), Higher Diploma in Financial Services Analytics – Apprenticeship (QQI Level 6),
and its advanced counterpart, the Higher Diploma in Financial Services Analytics – Apprenticeship (QQI Level 8).

Listeners will gain valuable insights into the application process, how employers can get their employees

enrolled, and the significant advantages these apprenticeships offer to both individuals and organisations. Darragh shares his personal journey of completing the BA (Honours) in Recruitment Practice within a recruitment agency, shedding light on the
practical benefits and challenges of applying academic learning in real-world scenarios.

Moreover, Darragh draws from his experience in the hospitality industry to discuss the critical transition into

recruitment within the same sector. He shares his findings offering advice on the future of the workplace and prepares us for the next generation of the
workforce, highlighting the importance of readiness and adaptability in the face of change.
