Education and Skills Bill

Perhaps I may help the Minister. Would it be easier if the college were to incorporate my amendment in its letter so that the details of the course the student has enrolled on are passed to the employer? The onus will then be on the college to report back to the employer if the student is not actually attending. Picking up on the Minister’s comment about the word ““sufficient””, my amendment seeks to ensure that the training being undertaken by the young person is sufficient to meet the needs of the employer and that it is purposeful. The student should not be there just for the sake of undergoing training.
