Over 100 New Jobs For Dublin

More than 100 jobs are to be created in Dublin over the next five years by global company, NIIT Limited, the Minister for Jobs Richard Bruton has announced.

NIIT Ltd, which provides multi-disciplinary learning management and training delivery solutions to corporations, institutions, and individuals in over 40 countries, is to establish a European Delivery Centre in Dublin, creating 110 jobs.

The development is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA (Industrial Development Authority) Ireland.

The new roles will include high-end engineers, creative writers, and digital media professionals. Other roles will be for trainers, multilingual customer service support, and project managers. Applicants can email careers.ireland@niit.com for further information on these positions.

Making the announcement today, Minister Bruton, who has met senior NIIT executives in New Delhi on two recent trade missions said: "A key part of our Action Plan for Jobs is achieving greater diversity in our multinational investment. As part of that, we have doubled the number of trade missions, and increased the number of IDA staff in key foreign growth markets.

"I have been to India on three major trade missions since taking office and I have seen first-hand the amazing work being done by our Agencies in that market and the massive potential for attracting investments and jobs to Ireland. I am well aware from our meetings in New Delhi that NIIT is a world-leading company in its sector, and today's announcement that it is establishing its first operation in Ireland and creating 110 jobs is a huge boost.

"I wish NIIT every success with this great project."
