On 11 June I announced the allocation €8 million in Exchequer capital funding to Institutes of Technology for the purchase of equipment and enabling works for apprenticeship training. This allocation is separate and additional to the €122 million in current funding for apprenticeship allocated in 2018 from the National Training Fund.
