Congratulating this year’s graduates Dr Diarmuid O’Callaghan DkIT president said:

“Graduations are among life’s greatest accomplishments” and that “one of the many gifts of education is that it prepares you for the great unknown that is your future – developing and fostering skills that you are going to need, as well as providing you with the confidence and resilience necessary to apply your acquired qualification in the ever-changing workplace.”

Praising the staff at DkIT for their role in the student’s success, Dr O’Callaghan also added:

“DkIT is not just a campus. It’s made up of people who proactively put in place much sought after courses and qualifications. We are constantly adapting our programmes so we are continually meeting the changing needs of society and the future economy.”
