We are delighted to announce that we have placed more than 100 young people into employed apprenticeships since September 2022!

Lucas Houston recently became the 100th recruit to the 2022/23 ApprenticeshipsNI programme at TTS when he secured employment as a Vehicle Parts & Customer Service Apprentice at TrustFord in Mallusk.

Lucas was presented with a Newmetab P40 Tablet by TTS CEO Michael Strain, alongside TrustFord’s Andrew Kyle (Aftersales Manager), Greg Whan (General Manager) and the rest of the TrustFord Mallusk Team.

TTS is consistently Northern Ireland’s largest provider of apprenticeships in these sectors with 30% market share. The company recently announced that it has successfully placed more than 100 young people into employed apprenticeships since September 2022, achieving it’s ‘TTS100’ goal.  This was the largest number in a single intake in the organisation’s history and took the total apprentice numbers across all year groups close to 250, which is an all-time high.  This is even more impressive against the backdrop of covid-19 when apprentice numbers fell to just 40 in the 2020 intake.

All TTS apprenticeships are delivered from its purpose-built campus at Nutts Corner, and it differs from other apprenticeship providers because its young people train at TTS in one week blocks approximately every eight weeks.  Employers and apprentices alike consistently comment on their preference for this training schedule over the traditional weekly day-release pattern.
