Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

Review of Action Plan for Apprenticeship 2021-2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Mary-Liz Trant:

Absolutely. It is part of the further education system more broadly and higher education short courses, which are constantly updating, for example, at the National Centre for Construction Training in Laois and Offaly. There are also short courses in the nearly zero energy building sector, NZEB, and the sustainable technologies where employees can come and up skill. They can do one-day, three day- or five-day courses. Those centres are spreading all around the country. Again, it is that really important partnership between industry and education. Once that is working well it is a very dynamic model.
