Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 June 2018
75. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 97 of 31 May 2018, the latest publication or forecast conducted by the skills and labour market and research unit and its apprenticeship services unit for annual targets for both craft and consortia led apprenticeships in each of the years to 2020 and over the next five years. [25926/18]
View answerI am informed by SOLAS that due to a break in the Central Statistics Office (CSO) data series and issues with the ESRI macro-economic model there has been a delay in updating of skills forecasts by the Skills and Labour Market and Research Unit (SLMRU). As soon as these issues are resolved I understand that the SLMRU will commence the occupational skills forecasting project, with subsequent publication.
I have set out in the table the last forecast carried out in October 2016 for craft apprenticeships. The SLMRU has, to date, not conducted forecasts for consortia led apprenticeships.
