Work on the establishment of the National Apprenticeship Office is ongoing at the current time. The focus of the two organisations involved in its establishment, SOLAS and the HEA, has necessarily been on ensuring that apprentices have been returned to training following COVID-19 related disruptions to many apprenticeships.
Work in the establishment of the Office, including in the agreement of procedures for the appointment of the Director is now proceeding well and details will be made available as they are agreed by the relevant organisations.
