Post by Gas Networks Ireland

We’re thrilled to see Gas Networks Ireland apprentice Emma Crimmins featured in the Irish Independent and on Newstalk today with Andrea Gilligan, sharing her journey into plumbing, her passion for hands‑on work, and her hope to see more young women explore careers in construction and the skilled trades. Since joining our apprenticeship programme in 2022, Emma has embraced every opportunity, from developing new technical skills to gaining industry qualifications, all while helping to shape a more diverse and inclusive future for the energy sector. Her story highlights the real advantages of pursuing a trade in the energy sector: meaningful work, lifelong skills, strong career prospects, and the chance to contribute directly to Ireland’s energy transition. Keep an eye on our channels for our upcoming Apprenticeship Programme launch. 🔊 Listen to Emma’s Newstalk interview here- https://lnkd.in/guu3VGke #MovingIrelandsEnergy #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #Apprenticeships #WomenInTrades #CareersInEnergy
