Keep science, technology, engineering and maths courses top of mind as the CAO “change of mind” period closes this weekend on 1 July. That’s the advice from Discover Science & Engineering (DSE), which publishes www.science.ie.
Dr Graham Love, Director of DSE and Policy and Communications at Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) said: “Since the start of this year, 4,000 technology jobs have been announced for Ireland with companies such as Amazon… I congratulate students that have already made the decision to undertake a science, technology or engineering related course at third level and I encourage those who may be filling out their change of mind form this week to consider such courses.”
The CAO announced this year that there has been an 18% increase in the number of applications by school-leavers for STEM courses, indicating growing awareness of the key areas driving the jobs of the future.
