Irish High Tech Companies Predict "Major Expansion" in 2014
Irish High Tech companies predict "major expansion" in 2014 according to AIB’s latest Outlook Report on the Technology sector. According to data from Forfás, employment in the indigenous ICT services sector grew from 18,300 in 2003 to 24,100 in 2012, and this number is expected to grow with over 44,500 jobs to be made available in the ICT sector over the next 6 years. The increase of about 6,000 jobs in the last decade has coincided with the Government spending  an inflation-adjusted €24bn on its total science budget with top priority given to the high tech sector by the Department of Enterprise. Seven out of 10 indigenous Irish technology companies increased their turnover by an average of 30% last year and six out of 10 are now looking outside Ireland for their main market according to a major survey of the sector.

Read What Our Graduates Have To Say

“As a recent graduate of a Higher Diploma in Science in Computing from Dublin Business School, I would describe the course as intensive, challenging and highly rewarding.

The workload and commitment of the Higher Diploma in Science in Computing required a massive amount of dedication, hard-work and adaptability from each student. After its completion I now view choosing it as one of the best decisions I have ever made. Through completing the course I have obtained a position with a well-respected large multinational organisation. Without the course and Dublin Business School’s contacts in the jobs market this would not have been possible. I know I still have a lot to learn to further progress in my new career but Dublin Business School has given me the confidence and foundations, to succeed through life-long learning.”
