University College Cork has a new one—year Higher Diploma in Languages and Global Software Business to help address an emerging skills shortage in the ICT sector.
The new course is heavily subsidised by the Government Human Capital Initiative programme to support language graduates who are looking to upskill, or who are currently unemployed or returning to work.
