An Operational Guidelines Working Group (OGWG) has been established to review the operational guidelines applying to CTCs, and Specialist Training Provision as well as Local Training Initiatives within the FET Sector. This is an internal working group formed under the auspices of Education and Training Boards Ireland (ETBI).
Membership of the OGWG includes representatives from individual ETBs and relevant stakeholders are invited to meetings of the group where relevant issues are to be discussed.
The OGWG commenced its work in June 2022 and reports on its progress to the ETBI Directors Forum. I understand that it is not proposed that a formal report will be published, but a series of recommendations relating to the operating guidelines of the aforementioned programmes will be submitted to SOLAS on completion of the Group's work.
