I, Senator O'Donnell and our Vice Chairman, Deputy Jim Daly, went to Austria recently to look at the apprenticeship system there. In recent years, Austria, and countries with similar systems, introduced a state exam whereby a person who had taken the apprenticeship route could take the state exam and then move on to university or another third level institution. If we considered a similar system here, would the State Examinations Commission have the capacity to oversee such an initiative?
