Not a peep, don't know if everyone is the same or if I wasn't successful. They said interviews were to be held in June so they should be near enough finished with compiling results. For me, it's getting to the stage where I'm anxious to hear one way or the other

Fair play, best of luck with the interview. Would you mind telling us what email address the email was sent from so we can keep an eye out for the email? Thanks

For circumstances such as this I very much doubt it would be an issue. However he should contact the ESB immediately to reschedule.

Also what are the chances of being kept on post qualification do the esb keep there apprentices?

I don’t think you get keep many on post apprenticeship but am open to correction. Perhaps someone else can comment. Either way this is one of the better electrical apprenticeships in my opinion so it shouldn’t be too difficult for your son to find work.

All apprentices are being kept on after finishing their time. Last year they committed to taking on 300 over 5 years so this is year 2 of that process.

That's not true, no one is guaranteed a job after completing their apprenticeship.

Hmmmm I’m fairly sure I’m right. What are you basing your statement on please

So if your s**t at your job your saying they,ll be keeping everyone on after there apprenticeship?

From what I hear it's not easy to pass. You dont just show up and pass. There exams in different phases. It's the same as any other electrical apprenticeship if I'm not mistaken.

Obviously HR will review your apprenticeship with whichever managers and supervisors you worked under whilst serving your time and get recommendations from them as to weather you would be a good fit for the company or not. You basically have to interview for your position at the end of your apprenticeship.

And yes there are exams to pass but the FAS side of things are exactly the same for every electrical apprentice regardless of who you work for. The only difference in your apprenticeship will be the “on the job” phases where you will work in a different section of ESB every six months or so.

There prob no guarantees, but in the current climate it would be harder to be let
go than kept on.
great apprenticeship and prob as good as you'll get in Ireland from an electrical point of view as you say constant moving thru the sections
Most of my year were kept on but previous year none were
so can be pot luck
having said that lots of opportunities with ESB apprenticeship on CV
