Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

European Year of Skills 2023: Discussion

Mr. Ray English:

We write out to the school principals and inform them about the event. We work very closely with the Institute of Guidance Counsellors in promoting it. Our registration system opens on 1 May. We were very lucky last year. The capacity is 30,000 and reached 30,000 registrations, with approximately 25,000 people turning up. There was so much going on that week that buses became difficult to get. By going with Higher Options, we are covering the entire tertiary sector. We are seeing the full availability of courses and this is the important aspect in respect of giving people oversight of everything available.
