Motion - Programme-Led Apprenticeships Scheme
Proposed:

That this Assembly recognises that the initial Programme-Led Apprenticeships (PLA) Scheme was a short-term, crisis response to the economic downturn and the rising number of redundancies amongst apprentices in paid employment; calls on the Minister for Employment and Learning to enter into wide-ranging, round-table discussions with all stakeholders with an interest in the Scheme to explore how it can be modified to better meet the needs of both providers and participants and to ensure there is no displacement of those currently in paid apprenticeships with employers; and further calls on the Minister to actively explore the roll out, on a significant scale, of both PLA and paid apprenticeships within the public sector.
Chairperson, Committee for Employment and Learning

5. Adjournment

Mr S Neeson
