Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: As a temporary measure until the end of this year, we put in place free vocational training and apprenticeships under the Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund. The latest enrolment data shows that 215,375 people have been supported though that fund since July of 2020; that includes 98,000 apprentices. The Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund makes a range of qualifications in targeted areas and all apprenticeships free until 31 December this year. It is another example of the real work that this Government is doing to tackle the skill shortages that we inherited.
