Apprenticeship Programmes
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-08
============================================================

Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

Will the Minister provide an update for the waiting list for the craft apprenticeships and the progress in decentralising the craft apprenticeship model? When I raised this with the Minister last month, there had been a 17% increase in the number of apprentices waiting to access off-the-job training over the preceding two months, with figures back up to just under 10,000.
What progress has been made on reducing the backlog? The Minister knows I will ask him this every Question Time.
