UCC students benefit from competition among companies

The most recent graduate outcome survey carried out by the UCC Careers Office found that 89% of the Bis class of 2020 were in employment shortly after graduating. 

An additional 8% were in further education with just 2% seeking employment.

Companies are hiring students that have not yet completed their studies, according to an expert, as the labour market remains tight due to inflation and a talent shortage.

Dr Ciara Fitzgerald, co-director of the Business Information Systems (Bis) programme at UCC, is optimistic about job prospects for graduates of the course despite the tech slowdown impacting some multinationals.
