Why a Language is beneficial in this Sector
- Ireland is right at the forefront of the global Medtech manufacturing industry. Language skills are highly sought after in this thriving space
- Since Brexit, Ireland has turned its focus to seeking out new partners in the non-English speaking markets. Language skills can boost the chance of success here
- There are many careers in the global Clinical Trials, R&D and Plastics industry where having another language will boost your prospects
- There is also a large number of careers within the Medtech industry where language skills can combine with marketing & sales
In today's globalised and post-Brexit world, foreign language skills have become even more important across all sectors of the Irish economy. As one of the world’s most open economies, we rely a lot on foreign direct investment from multi-national companies right across the world. Irish-based enterprises need to diversify into other markets such as the EU, China and India, to name but a few. A key element to allow for this diversification is having enough young, well-educated and multi-lingual employees to service these needs.
There are a large number of college courses where you can study a foreign language as part of your degree. You can decide to study your desired language as a stand-alone language degree or you can opt to include your favourite language as part of your degree alongside your main discipline. Whatever way you decide to pursue your language studies, it will give you a richer college experience and broaden your future opportunities.
