573. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will work to facilitate apprentice hairdressers getting back on site to continue their educational training; and if he will engage with those businesses providing the on-the-job work experience side of the training to ensure these apprentices can complete their apprenticeships.

Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board (ETB) who are the coordinating provider for the National Statutory Hairdressing Apprenticeship have confirmed that all apprentices have returned to work and have resumed normal work-based training duties as part of their apprenticeship programme.

In addition, apprentices have returned to face to face off the job training since the reopening of ETB education and training providers. Off the job training for the hairdressing apprentices was facilitated through online tutorials during the closure of ETB education and training providers.
