Apprentices are employees and are registered by their employers in the Education and Training Board (ETB) region in which the employer is located, not on a county basis or area of that county. This means the apprentice may not necessarily reside in or be originally from that region. In the case of employers based in Dublin north-west, the apprentices they employ are registered to City of Dublin ETB (CDETB). Given the above, it is not possible to provide the number of apprenticeships registered in Dublin north west from 2022 to date in 2025, by Local Electoral Area (LEA).

The table below sets out the total number of apprentices registered with employers - both in craft and consortia - located in the CDETB region from 2022 to the end of October 2025, by year. These apprentices are at various stages of on-the-job and off-the-job training, depending on the programme they are participating in.

Apprentices registered at CDETB may conduct their 'off-the-job' training at national centres outside of this region, based on their apprenticeship, availability of courses and position on the national waiting list, where applicable.
