Minister Harris welcomes expansion of National Hairdressing Apprenticeship across 6 new locations
Minister for Further and Higher Education, Simon Harris, has welcomed the expansion of the National Hairdressing Apprenticeship, which will be delivered in 6 new sites.
Increased investment in the apprenticeship system over the past five years has provided a solid foundation for the expansion of apprenticeship.
Most recently, in March, Minister Harris announced the roll-out of €20 million in capital funding to respond to the growing demand for apprenticeships.
The funding allowed for a significant expansion in electrical, plumbing and carpentry places, additional COVID-related capacity in electrical and plumbing, as well as addressing equipment requirements for apprenticeships including hairdressing.
