About us
FIT is an industry partnership working in collaboration with government and disadvantaged communities. FIT is committed to the socio-economic transformation of marginalised jobseekers and disadvantaged communities through innovative ICT training courses as a gateway to employment. It supports those jobseekers that are at risk of, or already experiencing long term unemployment and early school leavers from disadvantaged communities. • FIT programmes give access to those who have lower levels of formal educational qualifications and who can demonstrate an aptitude and interest in technology. FIT courses are developed in conjunction with industry to ensure that learners gain relevant soft skills combined with in-demand technology skills. Learners expand their skill sets and attain national and industry certifications leading to entry level jobs with real career prospects. FIT also supports progression to further and higher education as a step to employment. • FIT initially focused on meeting the employment needs of the ICT sector and then expanded its range of courses to include the needs of all sectors of ICT as well as emerging technology sectors such as wind energy, cloud, mobile apps and medical devices. In total over 48,500 job seekers have completed FIT skills development programmes to date, of which 35,000 have secured quality employment – FIT continues to change peoples’ lives.

We were absolutely thrilled to be nominated for Recruitment Campaign of the Year at the Women in STEM Awards last month! It was fantastic to celebrate the incredible achievements and innovations of women in STEM on the night! 👏 Huge congratulations to all of the winners! #FastrackintoIT
✨ What an unforgettable night at the Women in STEM Awards 2024! ✨ With incredible energy and enthusiasm, we celebrated women who are shaping the future of STEM. From inspirational words by our sponsors to empowering messages from award winners, it was clear that every attendee is truly a champion for change. PepsiCo shared their pride in supporting Women in STEM for the second year, highlighting the importance of visible role models and the opportunity to connect with leaders driving progress. Fidelity Investments Ireland shared their pride in fostering inclusive workplaces, and MasterCard emphasized their commitment to investing in diverse talent that’s advancing STEM in Ireland and beyond. One winner’s story, as she accepted the Outstanding Returner award, reminded us of the power of supportive workplaces, teamwork, and resilience in making her return to the industry possible. Thank you to all who made this event a true success—and congratulations to each of our winners for breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation! 🌟 #WISAwards24 #Pepsico #FidelityIreland #WeAreMastercard #DublinTechHub
