I understand that if a FÁS registered apprentice's employment has been terminated due to insufficient work being available he/she should: Inform FÁS Services to Business immediately of his/her redundant status. Register with the local DSP Employment Services Office for assistance in securing new employment to enable him/her to continue their apprenticeship training. Information regarding employment vacancies can also be accessed by telephoning Jobs Ireland at Freephone 1 800 611 116. Keep FÁS Services to Business informed of all details relating to his/her apprenticeship employment with a FÁS approved employer so that this time may be credited in calculating the finish date of his/her apprenticeship..In addition, in order to assist redundant apprentices to complete their apprenticeships, FÁS has put the following interim measures in place:-1. Apprentices who are made redundant may progress to the next off-the-job training phase of their apprenticeship, in line with current scheduling criteria. 2. FÁS is 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. 3. FÁS has introduced a Competency Determination Mechanism (CDM). This mechanism will provide redundant apprentices who have a time deficit in their apprenticeship with the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and knowledge against the occupational standard for the specified trade over a number of days in a FÁS Training Centre.
