The information sought by the Deputy is set out in the following table.
It should be noted that over this period approximately 80% of funding to Skillnets has been used to provide training programmes to those in employment, with the remaining 20% dedicated to the provision for those who are unemployed. It should also be noted that Skillnets programmes are often of relatively short duration.
