A review of the LTIs' operational guidelines is in progress. The working group is a subgroup of the directors of the FET forum, which is served by a complement of staff from the ETBs. This group will facilitate consultation and engagement with the national stakeholders to explore, clarify and resolve specific issues that may arise. All relevant stakeholders will be invited to engage with the group. The review will cover the workings of LTIs.

On 21 March, there was a Labour Court recommendation on LTI community training supervisors. I will furnish the Deputies with the details. Suffice it to say that SOLAS has proposed issuing revised pay scales to LTI staff in line with the related linked grade increases. This proposal is being worked on within the Department. I will have a note sent to the Deputies.
