Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 April 2012
679 Deputy Willie O’Dea asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the State agencies under her remit that have an internship scheme in place for young graduates; the number of places available; the take-up of these schemes to date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20490/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAt present, none of the Agencies under the remit of my Department have any interns in place. I am very conscious of the opportunities that internship schemes, such as the JobBridge National Internship Scheme, can provide and I have asked officials in my Department to contact each Agency to remind them of these possibilities and encourage them to develop internship schemes where appropriate.
