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

Apprenticeships: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Gavan:

There is just one other point, if I may. We need to reflect the value of the work that these apprentices and these workers do. My son is an apprentice. He has worked on the hospital in Limerick, a key piece of infrastructure. He has worked on a new Educate Together school. We can see our landscape changing and these are the workers that make that change. Perhaps the national apprenticeship office needs to reflect that in terms of the value and the difference that these workers make.
