A new report commissioned by the Minister for Labour recommends radical changes in the way apprentices are trained. The Minister said our success in the Europe of 1992 would depend significantly on the quality of the workforce and the apprenticeship system would be the cornerstone of that workforce.

Report shows apprentices welding, woodworking, bricklaying and plumbing.

The reporter is Pat Sweeney.
