I propose to take Questions Nos. 172 and 173 together.

The information requested by the Deputy is set out on the attached tabular statement.  I have been informed by SOLAS that their records show traineeship as two programme categories, Traineeship (for employment) and Traineeship (in employment) and therefore some of the information in relation to gender and employment  sector breakdown is not available.

Targets 2016-2020

Allocation for Traineeships

New Enrolments/Starters 2018 as at 2 July 2018

Traineeships and enrolment YTD 2018
