Mr. Jordan is leading down the path of awarded apprenticeships. We know there is a huge dearth of apprenticeships in Ireland. In fairness, it does need to change. At third level, we have probably got the balance wrong over the last 20 to 25 years. We have pushed way too many people towards university in a way, and turned people off going into basic apprenticeships.
