The Joe Duffy Group have announced an exciting expansion of its award-winning apprenticeship programme, creating over 50 new apprenticeship opportunities nationwide for people who want to start, develop, or change career within Ireland’s dynamic motor industry.
As the Group continues to grow in response to strong customer demand, the programme offers ambitious candidates a clear pathway into a rewarding career, with paid, practical experience, structured training, mentoring, and exposure to some of the world’s leading automotive brands. With more than 600 colleagues across Ireland, the Joe Duffy Group is investing in the next generation of sales and aftersales talent and opening doors for people who are passionate about cars, customer service, technology, and problem-solving.
