It currently employs 200 people in the capital and plans to have 300 staff here by the end of this year.

Employee training is a major part of Udemy’s offering.

Globally, Udemy’s customers include Volkswagen and the World Bank.

“The company has become part of an evolving and growing cluster in Dublin, which reflects the strong growth being experienced in the eLearning sector,” said IDA Ireland chief executive Martin Shanahan.
