Apprenticeship Programmes
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-20
============================================================

Niall Collins (FF), Limerick County

The Deputy may be aware that the process of preparing the new apprenticeship action plan 2021-25 is under way. It will consider all aspects of the current system, together with the relevant international research, to ensure the apprenticeship system is best placed to respond to the long-term economic needs and will be resilient and flexible enough to meet the short-term challenges. Fifty-eight responses were received in the initial public consultation process. The regional skills fora have provided feedback from local research into SME requirements. An apprentice questionnaire is due to be issued in the near future.
