Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Maria Kyne:

There is WorldSkills Ireland here in Dublin every September. A lot of schools come to that but we usually reserve it for those at senior cycle. There is no reason we could not have second-year and third-year students as well because it is there. All of the apprenticeships can be seen in one go. Something like that is a very useful and simple way of doing it.
