Mr. Sean McLoughlin:

We did. In fairness, while we were not forced, there were buses booked for the whole year to go up to Higher Options and the WorldSkills event. I found it interesting. WorldSkills is brilliant in a way. I was interested in the electrical area and so spent nearly half the day looking at that but others were going around looking at all of the other different skills. There were different kinds of companies promoting themselves. At the WorldSkills event and at Higher Options, apprenticeships were really promoted. Mercury, Intel and some big car manufacturers were all there promoting apprenticeships but also the college option. They wanted to train you further rather than just getting you your qualification and sending you off. I found that beneficial.
