Maths, Science and Technology graduates are in high demand. A second language is also beneficial

The chief executive of the IDA, Barry O’Leary, has advised students who are currently choosing a college course on where future opportunities for jobs lie. Foreign direct investment (FDI) companies continue to create jobs and most are seeking graduates with backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and maths. Many FDI jobs also require multi-lingual skills.
Irish Universities and colleges provide a wide variety of courses “which qualify graduates to meet industry needs to match with employment opportunities,” says O’Leary.
In the last 12 months, multinational companies with export-led growth created over 13,000 new jobs in Ireland.
“Students planning now for their future careers need to take this growth into account and consider in which sectors the greatest FDI job opportunities will be in the coming years,” says O’Leary.
