Further and Higher Education
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-18
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

It is fantastic that people can go through these courses, end up in employment or further education and training, and reach their potential. However, does the Minister of State not agree that, if the people instructing on these courses do not have certainty regarding their own career pathways, they will move on and their skill sets will be lost, as will their passion for helping what are mainly young people to get on the pathway to work? Will the Minister of State commit to examining the issue of the trainers not having certainty around their employment? It goes from year to year, so they leave their roles and move on, which is a major loss of passion, skills and experience. This is the one commitment I want from tonight's questions.
