TU Dublin’s Learn+Work course in Process Instrumentation and Automation provides a pipeline of skilled in-demand work-ready talent into STEM industries through industry partnership.

• The programme blends the strength of a university education with apprenticeship-style work placements. This course is designed specifically to create work-ready university graduates in the shortest possible time-frame.
• Each year, students divide their time between full time study blocks in the university and significant periods of paid work placement with industry partners.

Process Instrumentation & Automation involves the measurement and control of physical quantities (temperature, level, pressure, flow and many others) used in advanced manufacturing systems. Engineers use instrumentation and control to monitor and maintain processes for improved production, quality, and safety in manufacturing facilities in the Pharmaceutical, Food & Drinks, Water/Wastewater, Oil & Gas industries among others.

European Social Fund +

The European Social Fund + supports training across a wide range of industry sectors and geographical regions. The aim of the ESF+ programme is to invest in people with the objective of achieving high employment levels, fair social protection and a skilled and resilient workforce for the future world of work.  ESF + funding will also improve employment opportunities by providing training to up-skill and reskill, lifelong learning, and education measures with a focus on those who face greater challenges in accessing the labour market. The ESF+ will contribute to reducing the risk of poverty and social exclusion, with an emphasis on disadvantaged groups. Learn more on European Funding here: www.eufunds.ie
