Construct Innovate Work Ready Graduate Programme (WRGP)

At Construct Innovate, we are very pleased to announce the rollout of the second edition of the Work Ready Graduate Programme (WRGP), an Enterprise Ireland funded programme, which will commence in September 2025.

This is a year-long programme which will match recently qualified graduates (Level 8 degree or equivalent in disciplines relevant to the construction and built environment sector) with our industry members, while also providing training, mentorship and support to the graduates through Construct Innovate.

  • Graduate Secondment

    The WRGP will match 15 suitably qualified graduates (Masters degree or equivalent in disciplines relevant to the construction & built environment sector) with our Member organisations for a 12 month period. Recent Masters graduates from across the academic institutions in Ireland can apply and will be matched with suitable member organisations.

  • Training

    In parallel, the graduates will complete a Post-Graduate Diploma (PGDip) in Construction Innovation from University of Galway and receive a fully accredited qualification at the end of the Programme. This will include mentorship and support from Construct Innovate and University of Galway for the graduate and participating organisation throughout the programme.

  • Funding

    The programme will also part fund the salary of the graduate while seconded to the industry member organisation for the duration of the programme.
