The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion
Mr. Paul Crone:
Very much so. In a previous role I was very aware of the role that Google played with a number of schools in that particular area. The P-TECH initiative in Dublin's north inner city is tapping into the tech sector in conjunction with the National University of Ireland and a number of schools to entice and train students in that area. My experience is that there is a willingness in the tech sector to invest in the students because they will be its future workforce. If we can tap into that, we would be pushing an open door.
