MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, June 12, 2023

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

To ask the Chief Executive how many Apprentices are currently employed within the Council?

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council does not currently have apprentices employed. A significant Apprenticeship Scheme was run over the last number of years and is now complete - of the 10 apprentices employed under that scheme, 6 completed and 4 did not complete. The Council is progressing plans to re-establish a new scheme in 2023 and has been fully supportive in its endorsement of the Apprenticeship Scheme over the years, recognising the value of the scheme both to the Council and to the apprentices.  The apprentices have made a significant contribution to the organisation throughout the duration of previous schemes.
