Apprenticeships: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am

The AMTCE is very specialised and intensive, particularly in terms of the capital that goes into the equipment used for training purposes. It might be a useful model for other sectors in developing apprenticeships targeted at SMEs. Are Mr. Smith and Ms Boland aware of the development of any apprenticeships? The organisation I was involved with worked closely with industry and education providers to develop micro-credentials, but I have not heard about any apprenticeships.
