Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ray English:

It would be very valuable on the island. We are engaged in conversations with our colleagues in WorldSkills UK regarding how we can create competitions that could be run simultaneously on both sides. It is certainly a possibility we have in play now. Another aspect to be considered here is the expansion of the Erasmus and Erasmus+ programmes. Erasmus+ and Erasmus PRO are linked across all the WorldSkills members. We are trying to link WorldSkills partners to Erasmus programmes to encourage this transfer of skills and mobility. It is key.
