A survey of some of the major  multinationals and representative SMEs shows that Ireland has a major skills shortage in the Information and Communcations Technology (ICT). The survey, carried out by Fastrack to IT (FIT), an initiative led by the technology industry in  Ireland that provides those at risk of long-term unemployment with  marketable technical skills, estimates that there are in excess of 4,500 immediate job vacancies in the IT sector in Ireland. These are not being filled due to the severely limited supply of suitably skilled applicants, says the report.

“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.”

Keith O’ Brien, Higher Diploma in Science in Computing
