Professor Don Barry:

One experiment we did in Limerick, which should be strongly encouraged throughout the country, was to get schools, third level education institutions and, most importantly, employers to get together. In particular, I am thinking of a thing we organised called "Limerick for Engineering" which was an event to which employers came along. They had software engineers there to talk about what a software engineer did. These were real, live people who were doing those jobs. Approximately 10,000 people turned up to the event. It is not just disadvantaged students who do not know what the jobs are. This problem will never be addressed simply by relying on education providers. The employers have a vested interest in doing this kind of work to sell the jobs they want to fill to the people who will eventually fill them. It can work hugely effectively.

I do not know how much time we have, but Dr. Prendergast wants to say something.
