Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
WorldSkills Competition 2017: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Gavin Lyne:
Yes. It is like five minutes ago. However, there was very little promotion in that sense. If one asked guidance counsellors or teachers about apprenticeships, they would shrug. I remember when a teacher went around the classroom asking what students were going to do, people mentioned courses and when it came to me, I said I was starting an apprenticeship in September. It was assumed that I would go to college, not start an apprenticeship.
