Opportunities after Education in Ireland
In Ireland, international students who have completed their studies have the option of staying on for at least 24 months through what is called the Third Level Graduate Scheme. As you probably know, however, Ireland’s unemployment rate is around 5% which makes it an excellent choice for those who are graduating and looking to stay in Ireland because of the prospects available to them.
Ireland’s service sector is booming because of all the major international technology giants that have offices there. There’s demand for graduates from hospitality and tourism, too. The latter industry is thriving thanks to a rise in people traveling across the world.
