Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 March 2017
811. Deputy Noel Rock asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if the State has adopted the European Commission's quality framework on traineeships, which was a key element of the youth guarantee; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11945/17]
View answerMy Department does not have responsibility for the development or delivery of traineeship schemes. Solas, which is under the remit of the Department of Education and Skills, delivers the National Traineeship Programme, which is tailored to the needs of Irish industry and offers participants occupationally relevant training and industry recognised qualifications.
I am informed by my colleague the Minister for Social Protection that the Quality Framework on Traineeships was adopted by the Department of Social Protection when implementing the JobBridge scheme, which has now closed.
