Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Youth Guarantee: Discussion
2:30 pm
Mr. Joe O'Connor:
I attempted to address this earlier. As far as I am concerned, an internship should provide a real learning opportunity and career advancement. The Senator is correct in saying that Irish Water is a big project. The internships advertised are for a specific piece of work that is time-bound; once it is complete, I do not see a career advancement opportunity.
