New updated rates for apprenticeships just published on the Solas website. If you look closely, you will see that the Engineering Sector has not moved since 2016 @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @DeptofFHed @SOLASFET @KCETB @CathCallaghanTD @IrishTimes @Independent_ie

#Apprentices are vital to the Irish economy. Yesterday I asked the Taoiseach to work with me to address the disparity in the off-the-job training allowences for apprentices working in engineering companies compared to their counterparts in construction companies. #equality

Access to the beach should be all inclusive for sure and with this Irish made beach chair along with many others it is now. #rollingwaves @opwireland @IrishWheelchair #BeachLife Checkout Beechcog

Big shout out to everyone involved in setting off the job training rates for Apprentices. Ye have managed to discriminate against the Engineering sector over the Construction sector yet again. @SOLASFET @MaryLizTrant1 @ETBIreland @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @apprenticesIrl

You can consider metal fab also but be aware that if you train with a Construction Metal Fab company the state will pay you over €4k more than if you train with an Engineering Metal Fab company. It’s hard to believe but it’s true. #crazy

An incredible year for sure but ye are still refusing to deal with the massive off the job training allowance disparity within certain trades. You can’t have 2 students doing the exact same apprenticeship but one being handed over €4k less than the other. Come on, step up please
What an incredible year 2024 has been for Further Education and Training (FET) with significant growth and demand for FET and Apprenticeships, including an increase of almost 50% in retrofitting course enrolments at the NZEB Centres of Excellence in 2024.

This is brilliant and well done to her and continued success and best wishes. Little known FACT….. her fellow tradesman, a male, will have earned over €4,000-00 within 36 weeks extra thanks to a pay gap that has been allowed to exist within the trade of metal fabrication.

Solas are standing over a pay gap which exists within certain trades. Not between certain trades. It’s within certain trades. In this case a gap of over €4,000-00 during the off the job phases! State money and it’s being wasted!!! @Apprenticeship Ireland
The NAO (@apprenticesIrl ) have released an important update for #craft apprentices👇including how: ✅+€200m invested in craft training, new workshops & extra instructors countrywide to provide off-the-job training more quickly for all apprentices More👉 tinyurl.com/5cz85bze
