In regard to the private trainers the Minister will involve in this process, I understand from some of the people in the industry that there will probably be a condition in those contracts that a certain percentage of people being trained end up in further education or in employment or there will be a penalty in regard to the payment to them if they do not achieve that. Will there be a parallel mechanism for in-house staff doing the same work as external contractors? If that benchmark is being used for external contractors, the public service would want to see the same standard being applied to it.
