Massive thank you to our friends at LinkedIn for hosting our latest IT Support learners last week for an exclusive AI Tools for Jobseekers workshop. 🌟 This is the latest in a series of intensive workshops that LinkedIn has been delivering to Generation Ireland learners, graduates and alumni as part of our partnership. Topics covered included: Optimizing Your LinkedIn Profile, Growing Your Network, Searching and Applying for Jobs. 🖥️ Our learners also had the opportunity to benefit from tailored support from individual LinkedIn Coaches who volunteered their time. Ronan Harbison, Executive Director of Generation Ireland said: “Having the opportunity to bring our learners together and receive direct 1:1 instruction on the LinkedIn platform is invaluable to us, particularly as these learners progress to their 6-month supported placement phase. Our partnership is directly benefitting our learners’ experience and I would like to sincerely thank LinkedIn and its staff who have been so supportive and giving of their time in all of these workshops.” Katrina Enros Stephanie Jud Priscila A.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate our partnership with Cognizant, a collaboration transforming lives by opening doors to thriving careers in tech and green sectors for learners who face significant barriers to employment. While Ireland’s unemployment rate stands at 5%, the reality behind the numbers tells a deeper story. Over 137,000 people remain unemployed and more than 140,000 are under-employed. Young people experience unemployment rates of 14%, and for some groups including refugees that figure can rise as high as 36%. 📈 🖥️ Generation Ireland and Cognizant’s partnership is addressing this challenge, supporting people facing multiple barriers to employment to access life-changing careers through intensive bootcamp training programmes. Generation learners are also receiving support specifically geared at preparing them for a world of work changing rapidly with AI building their knowledge, adaptability, and confidence to thrive in their careers with AI. 🤖 Since launching our partnership in 2025, we’ve seen many inspiring journeys unfold, learners gaining not just skills, but a clear path into life-changing employment. “At Generation Ireland, we know that talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. Our partnership with Cognizant is helping to close that gap by equipping learners facing multiple barriers with the skills, confidence and employer connections they need to access sustainable careers. Behind every statistic is a person with potential, and with Cognizant’s support, we’re seeing Generation Ireland learners move from uncertainty to meaningful, sustainable employment. This is about more than training; it’s about long-term economic participation, social mobility, and transformative impact for individuals, families and communities.” Ronan Harbison, Executive Director, Generation Ireland. “Cognizant’s Synapse initiative - a global commitment to provide 2 million people by 2030 with cutting-edge technology skills - is about taking action and enabling them to step into the jobs of the future. By partnering with Generation Ireland, we’re directly supporting learners who face real barriers and helping to open pathways into careers in the tech industry and green sectors.” Rohit Gupta, UK&I Managing Director, Cognizant. #SocialMobility #SkillsBootcamp #FutureOfWork #GenerationIreland
