Joint Oireachtas Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science
Apprenticeships: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Bryan O'Mahony:
There are definitely part-time and online students who are not seeing the same. From my experience, the part-time students get a more informed welcome pack of where supports are and stuff like that. They feel like they are more part of the cycle because they are students and are part of the student union. For apprentice students, within the college cycle, there is no apprentice office they can go to. There are offices for part-time students and lifelong learning students that they can go to for support, but apprentices are really left to the side.
