Staffing hits post-Leaving Certificate courses amid labour market demands

Problems of staffing and enrolment restrictions are contributing to difficulties of post-Leaving Certificate (PLC) courses to match the changing demands of employers, a review of the sector has found.

The need for PLC programmes to respond better to labour market requirements are highlighted in a report of the study by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI).

It conducted the research for Solas, the further education and training authority which oversees the sector.
