The Springboard+ initiative offers Government funded courses at Certificate and Postgraduate Conversion Diploma levels.
All courses lead to qualifications in enterprise sectors seeking skilled personnel in areas including; Information and Communications Technology (ICT); International Financial Services; and cross-enterprise IT skills such as Big Data for Business.
As the ICT sector continues to grow so too does the demand for skilled personnel in this area. A target of delivering more than 47,000 graduates with high level ICT skills by 2022 has been set by the Government to meet Ireland's need for graduates in computing, electronic and electrical engineering.
Technology Skills 2022, Ireland's third ICT Skills Action Plan was launched in February 2020 by Minister for Education and Skills Joe McHugh and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation Heather Humphreys.
