Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Education and Upskilling in the Agriculture Sector
Dr. Anne-Marie Butler:
There was one person on the course, a little like the story we heard about earlier, who had tried a full-time academic route, but it had not been for him. There was great vibrancy in the room. Interestingly, we are already looking at how we can share the experiences of all those apprentices. I think this is a welcome initiative and it is a great opportunity for us to move into the area of higher education as well, which is a great experience for the learners and our staff.
