IT Skills - An essential asset for all graduates

Technology and computer skills are essential assets for all workers. Even if the career you choose does not focus solely on computers, the job you do will most likely require the use of computers and technology to accomplish tasks and process information.


There are now over 5,000 technology companies located in Ireland, ranging from start-ups and SMEs, to large international and multinational companies, with an ever-growing number of Irish owned multinationals.


According to The Expert Group on Future Skills Needs, Ireland is facing an average 5% a year increase in demand for ICT skills up to the year 2018. This means that the number of ICT professionals will rise to over 91,000 in Ireland alone. Across Europe (the EU 27), the conservative projected shortage for ICT professionals by 2015 is 372,000, and potentially as high as 864,000.


This wave of ICT innovation is driving demand for new ICT skills and abilities. The ICT sector needs people who can design, develop and deploy new applications and services. It also needs people with new combinations of skills, for example, Big Data requires a combination of skills, such as technology, statistics and business skills; Social Media needs a combination of technology and marketing skills.

Hear what our graduates have to say
BA (Hons) Accounting & Finance graduate

My choice to study at DBS was made much easier upon attending the open evening. The staff members were very friendly and informative. I was slightly apprehensive as I had been out of education for almost 20 years; my decision to select the accounting course I wanted was reinforced by excellent advice and recommendation from the college tutors.

This honours degree has been very beneficial for my career as I have been promoted recently. I intend to return to complete the professional ACCA exams for which our course grants 9 exemptions. I will finish these exams under the tutors at DBS.


Studying at DBS for me has been a fantastic experience, juggling family life and work commitments were made easier with the excellent facilities. The library opening hours and online content made studying and preparing assignments possible at any time.


My highlight from studying and learning at DBS has been meeting and making some great friends. We have worked on assignments and study groups over the 4 years; creating long standing friendships. The college has a great scene with plenty of sporting and social activities.
