IT’s Happening Here is a new jobs campaign that has launched today to promote IT vacancies in the Irish-owned software sector.
As part of the campaign, a new website called IT’s Happening Here has been launched, whereby Ireland’s home-grown software companies can post their jobs.
Apparently there are 1,500 such positions for software professionals at the minute.
IT’s Happening Here itself is an initiative being led by some 600 Irish-owned software companies. Enterprise Ireland is also supporting the drive.
The IT jobs initiative will also be at the Career Zoo recruitment event, on Saturday, 22 September, at the Convention Centre Dublin.
Enterprise Ireland’s Jennifer Condon, who manages the software division, said finding IT talent is the single biggest challenge for Irish software companies right now.
“Strongly focused on exports, the Irish-owned software industry is one of our fastest-growing indigenous industries delivering double-digit growth in exports every year. It is crucial that we attract talent to the industry to ensure continued growth at this level,” she said.
