Springboard at Dublin Business School
Dublin Business School (DBS) in conjunction with the Higher Education Authority (HEA) under the Government ‘Springboard’ initiative is providing the unemployed the opportunity to reskill or upskill for FREE under a range of approved and accredited courses identified as providing training that will improve the future skills of the labour force, in a range of sectors where sustainable employment is predicted to rise as the economy recovers.

DBS is delighted to announce that it will be offering 11 programmes in the areas of Networking, Database Development, Software Development, Cloud Computing, International Sales, Financial Services, Digital Marketing and Project Management as part of the Springboard 2013 initiative that was jointly launched by the Minister for Education and Skills, Ruairi Quinn together with the Minister of State for Training and Skills, Ciaran Cannon.

Participants can study for free without losing their social protection entitlements, and there is no minimum period of time in which participants are required to have claimed social protection payments.

Get on course to get back to work with Springboard at DBS!

What is Springboard?
The Springboard initiative in higher education offers free, part-time courses at certificate, degree and masters level.
All courses lead to qualifications in enterprise sectors which are growing and need skilled personnel, including information and communications technology (ICT), international financial services, and key skills for enterprise to trade internationally. Qualifications are also available in cross-enterprise skills such as sales for cloud services, international sales, digital marketing, and project management.

For further information on Springboard, DBS course offerings, entry requirements, eligability criteria and application procedures visit the DBS Springboard page or the Springboard website

For more information, you can watch the Springboard launch video, or listen here to Dragons Den's Gavin Duffy discussing the benefits of Springboard.
