Joint Oireachtas Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science
Apprenticeships: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Bryan O'Mahony:
Looking at diversity, it comes down to how career guidance happens at second level. It is seeing how we can get different people, based on what they want to do rather than what they are forced to do. We see so many people pushed into university who are not suited to university. People who are pushed into post-leaving certificate courses are not suited to that either. They are just as qualified to go straight into university. It is about reformatting the career guidance level with consistency across the board regarding all levels of further education that are appropriate for them. What was the second question?
