Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion
Mr. Ken Whyte:
To clarify a point regarding craft apprenticeships, what are known as the pre-2016 apprenticeships, the State in that case does pay apprentices when they are on training courses, whether those programmes are undertaken in centres based in institutes of technology or education and training boards, ETBs. The apprentices on that type of programme are paid during that time.
