€830 thousand in funding has been announced to expand electrical apprenticeships at ATU Galway.
It's part of a national allocation of €17m to four higher education institutions, in response to the growing demand for apprenticeships.
Minister Simon Harris is visiting ATU Galway today on foot of the announcement - and will later open a new student accommodation block at University of Galway.
Speaking to Galway Talks, he said apprenticeships are absolutely vital - and there are now more options than ever before.
