Abstract

Ireland is a solid player in the global computing sector and has done a great job attracting high-tech names to Ireland, with eight of the ten top global information technology companies establishing a important presence here. Computing as a career can be financially and personally rewarding and, coupled with prospects across diverse industries, who wouldn't consider it?.

But there is concern among employers in the sector about the inability to fill computing jobs. Even with tech companies realigning their overall workforce and ongoing redundancies, there are so many vacancies at the moment. Falling numbers taking computing courses at third level and low female uptake really don’t help the problem.
