I thank the Minister of State for his reply and I welcome the initiatives that have been put in place. However, there are a number of people who will not be able to conclude their training. What is planned in respect of these individuals? In light of the situation with regard to apprenticeships, what does the Government intend to do to entice people to become apprentices and to attract sponsors for them? The Government has not outlined a clear vision or plan in this regard.
