Mr. Clancy spoke about the apprenticeship piece and Griffith College. If that was being rolled out in further education around the country, there probably would be uptake for it. There is a generation of young people now who feel, and rightly so, that they do not just want to grow up in a business. They want to be given the skills set even if the family business is to be handed on to them. They want the opportunity to have that skills set come from an objective point of view, not just from how their mother or father taught them how to do things.
