"It's the best decision I've ever taken."

The Accounting Technicians Ireland (ATI) Apprenticeship is a work-based learning programme in which apprentices are paid at least €18,000 a year. The programme is open to both school-leavers and mature students. This is one of the modern era, white-collar apprenticeships offering new career routes to students who prefer an approach that blends paid, practical work with study, leading to qualifications up to degree level, or even above.

Shauna began her apprenticeship with MBM Chartered Accountants, Clonee, Co Meath and loves the mix of working and learning simultaneously.
