PQ 1276
1276. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if he accepts that practical, sector-specific training delivered through Farm Business Skillnet in areas such as farm management, sustainability, leadership and rural skills is exactly the type of close-to-labour-market investment that an organisation (details supplied) called for in its 2022 report on the Future of the National Training Fund; and if he will outline his plans to significantly expand support for this network and other rural Skillnet programmes rather than allowing employer-levied contributions to continue accumulating unused.
