Mr. Diarmuid Collins:

The IMI was involved in executive education, that is, education for people already in the workplace, primarily executive programmes. We did not have that offering as part of our business school. It is a gap in what we provide. We are obliged under the Universities Act to retrain and reskill and deliver lifelong learning, and in the area of business we did not have that offering. The IMI now allows us to make that offering.

It delivers programmes for multinationals, Irish and overseas companies and small businesses on developing leadership, management and provides executive education in Ireland and abroad.
