Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris has today announced the roll-out of up to 10 new apprenticeship programmes in 2023.
These 10 programmes are on top of a further 11 which are currently in development, and will add significantly to the 66 programmes already available nationwide.
Speaking today, Minister Harris said:
“Creating parity of esteem for apprenticeships has been a central part of my department's agenda, and I’m delighted to say real progress is being made across the sector.
“The new apprenticeship programmes being announced today are across tech, engineering, farming, horticulture and hospitality, and will go a long way towards delivering the skills and talent these sectors are crying out for.
“I genuinely believe the reform we have been driving over the past two years in the area of apprenticeship has already helped the option become front and central in discussions round the dinner table when people are talking about options for learning, upskilling or reskilling.”
