At present, none of the Agencies under the remit of my Department have any interns in place. I am very conscious of the opportunities that internship schemes, such as the JobBridge National Internship Scheme, can provide and I have asked officials in my Department to contact each Agency to remind them of these possibilities and encourage them to develop internship schemes where appropriate.
