My Department is investing significant resources in 2010 in the provision of training and employment programmes to address the current challenges. This year, over €1 billion will be provided in the provision of a range of labour force measures. The total number of training and work experience activation places funded by my Department will be approximately 147,000. This compares to the 66,000 places that were delivered in 2008 and the 130,000 places delivered last year.
