My Department is aware that the chief executive of the training board intends to retire at the end of December 2017, in line with normal retirement arrangements for which Departmental approval is not required.

The manner for filling this vacancy is by way of open competition conducted by the Public Appointments Service. It is not possible at this stage to estimate the timeframe for such a recruitment process.
