Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Skills and Apprenticeship Landscape in Ireland: Institute of Physics
Dr. Michael Kyle:
The extent of physics in industry and jobs is very much unknown. Believe it or not, one in 20 jobs directly involves physics. Something like one in ten jobs is in physics-based industries so there is a mismatch between this and the knowledge students and the education system have of it and, therefore, people are not probably prepared enough for those industries so there is work to be done in advertising and making sure more people know about that.
