The Tech Industry Alliance and RDI Hub have teamed up to launch the Graduate AI Launchpad pilot, a new programme designed to prepare graduates, employers and industry professionals in Ireland’s south-west for AI enabled workplaces. The inaugural programme, which aims to further expand across Cork and Kerry in the future, welcomed its first cohort this week to the RDI Hub in Killorglin. Graduate AI Launchpad is built around practical learning, giving participants the opportunity to develop skills that will likely apply to future careers, they said. “Graduate AI Launchpad is a wonderful example of that in action. Maeve Lyons, the programme manager at RDI Hub, added, “AI is one of the RDI Hub’s key focus areas and for years we have been helping organisations understand, adopt and apply AI to solve real business challenges.
