This is a day to day operational matter for FÁS. I understand that FÁS, with the support of the social partners, are providing a temporary Redundant Apprentice Placement Scheme whereby FÁS approved employers in the public and private sectors will provide redundant apprentices with training and assessment on-the-job at Phase 3, Phase 5 and Phase 7 of their apprenticeships. FÁS will provide eligible redundant apprentices with an opportunity to complete their on-the-job training and assessments. As of 11th May 2012, 672 apprentices are currently on the scheme and 127 have completed their on-the-job training phase.
