A key challenge identified by industry is that there is an urgent need for individuals from non-technical backgrounds who are managing functions/business units to understand the new technology lexicon. There is confusion about the business benefit and return on investment if these new technologies are to be embraced and deployed.
This led ICT Skillnet to creating the Certificate in Emerging Digital Technologies with support from Engineers Ireland and industry partners. This online Certificate will give that individual a better understanding of new technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Cybersecurity amongst others, to empower them to make better business decisions while adding new knowledge to their individual learning portfolios.
