There are different methods and models. Apprenticeships have totally changed over recent years. We have gone from diesel cars to petrol cars to electric cars. When this committee visited Waterford, we learned that one of the biggest challenges is the need to train diesel and petrol mechanics while at the same training mechanics for the new electric cars.
