Irish Education System on Right Path to ICT Skills Development
According to Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton
|
So far, Irish entrepreneurship has seen the creation of 62,000 jobs, something which Bruton pointed out is much more than many of the other 'tiger' economies of the world. The major issue, however, is that the ICT sector in Ireland is not just a sector in itself, but is one that has branched out to almost every single sector as digital technology, and using the internet to their advantage is just as vital to the continuation of businesses as having the employees to carry out their roles.
Bruton raised the issue of how Ireland's education system has been lagging behind for years in comparison with other non-tech specific jobs. However, significant improvements have been made in recent years in fostering a skills-based education system.
"The Irish education system has been squared up in terms of ICT and the formation of an ICT skills group has brought changes. We had set a target of the doubling of ICT graduates by 2018 but we are now on course for this to be reached by 2015," Bruton said.
