Top companies look to Ireland s future.
An Accreditation Scheme for the development of engineers was agreed by twenty-five of Ireland s top companies today. Mary Harney T.D. The T naiste said that the success of the Irish economy in recent years relied heavily on the country s move to knowledge based business. If the economy is to continue to thrive Irish businesses must have engineering skills that are at the leading edge. And, they must be able to demonstrate or prove that they have programmes in place to guarantee this. Individuals will be attracted to work in Irish companies knowing they have a guarantee about their personal and professional development.
