Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Megan Yeates:
No. To sum up, as has been mentioned multiple times, it is the issue of visibility and getting the message across. Before I even started the national competitions I had never even heard of WorldSkills and it seems to have been, at times, the best kept secret. It is a question of raising that visibility, no matter if it is through schools, employers, through the Oireachtas, or through any means possible to get the idea across. As was mentioned before, if the students cannot see it, they will not do it or be part of it. That is crucial.
