I have two brief questions. In relation to the ETBs, because they are such a new entity, some ETBs may be more successful at creating those forums. I wonder what facility is there in place for the individual CEOs to take best practice from each ETB area and how that will be managed.

As to my other question, one of the points in the report, on page 19, on how we measure the success of the strategy, is:

Everybody who engages with FET, whether employed or unemployed or wishing to engage with FET for the purpose of learning, can access a high quality career guidance, counselling and labour marketing information service.

Will the Minister of State give us some more information on how that will be achieved in practice rather than in theory?
