Proposed employment consultancy
Fitzgerald questioned why a consultancy was considered so soon after the Agency’s creation. The Minister said none had been established and that any proposed consultants would examine employment and training more broadly.
Arising from the Minister's last reply, if the agency have a co-ordinating role in job creation or job training for young people, why did the Government find it necessary to set up a consultancy so soon after the agency were established?
Comment on this
No consultancy has been established. The task force of employment Ministers gave consideration to the question of consultants but the remit of those consultants was intended to be far wider than the area covered by the Youth Employment Agency in that it would have regard to the total area of employment and training, including the educational area.
