17. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the financial assistance available from his Department to a person (details supplied) who wishes to complete the experienced operator programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29958/16]
View answerThere is no financial assistance available from my Department to cover the cost of completion of the Experienced Operator Programme.
Support may be available from the Training Support Grant which is administered by the Department of Social Protection and is designed to fund quick access to short term training or related interventions for individual jobseekers who have identified work opportunities. Contact should be made with the local Intreo office for further information on support that may be available to the individual in question.
