Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed).
Mr. Andrew Brownlee:
We continually look at and update the curriculum so they should have access to training around electric vehicles if the co-ordinating provider is on the ball.
We are looking at putting in place what we are calling an e-mobility specialist skills centre. At the moment we are focused on what the next generation of mechanic needs to have. That covers everything from electric vehicles to electric scooters. We are working on all the types of vehicles to get around.
