Does Mr. English believe that an opportunity is being missed and that, for the future, we should plan for a roadshow, as opposed to a WorldSkills event, in each province once a year to promote apprenticeships? Is there a missing link there? I was interested in what Mr. McLoughlin said about guidance counsellors. Most guidance counsellors are into third level education. Apprenticeships are now very much part and parcel of third level education but most guidance counsellors are into non-apprenticeship third level education, going into teaching or whatever. Should we be promoting apprenticeships even more at the level of the provinces and the regions?
