Employers snap up app-developing students

Industry-ready computer and software students have never been more employable, say the organisers of a skills showcase at National College of Ireland.

Pramod Pathak, dean of NCI’s school of computing, said: “The computing industry in Ireland is facing significant demand for specific ICT skills and today’s event highlights that our graduating class are more than equipped to provide the technical talent employers need. The quality and diversity of the projects on display represent not only commercial potential, but also the best calling card for our students.”

Microsoft, Oracle, CR2, the Web Summit, Citigroup and others will attend today’s showcase from 11am to 1pm at NCI’s Dublin campus.
