Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Michael Fitzgerald:

Of the 5,000 to 7,000 candidates, we have approximately 100 starters every year who are taken on as apprentices and who get through the process. Of those, we have a high retention rate of everybody, pretty much, who passes their exams, get their various qualifications through the apprenticeship and get to the end. Obviously, it is not 100%, nor is it in any sphere, because there is a quality requirement right the way through. Almost everybody gets through.
