Review of Action Plan for Apprenticeship 2021-2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms CaitrĂ­ona Murphy:

Yes. It may only be when apprentices reach phase 2 in a training centre that they feel comfortable enough to ask for help if they have a diagnosis or whatever may be the case. We then provide supports. We always try to meet the needs of all of our students and learners. Apprentices may experience some difficulty with maths, literacy and different things, so our adult education services in the past have assisted, nice and easily, for the benefit of the class. There is a high maths content in some of the apprenticeship schemes. We meet people where they are at and provide whatever supports we can.
