Relevant skills for your team, increased engagement for you.

The support we received from the UCD Professional Academy team has been superb, the feedback from our employees has been excellent and we see this particular learning and development route as a key pillar of our overall People Development Strategy going forward.

I gained the skills around being able to run the analytics myself, but more than that passing the course it gave me confidence – I can sit at any meeting and contribute with the same level of knowledge as anyone else, while previously I was a bit unsure of that part of my role. It’s given me what I needed.

The Professional Diplomas offer our staff an invaluable opportunity to gain new skills and knowledge that can then be utilised in their roles, as well as allowing staff to network with attendees from different industries and sectors.

We’ve already had some people enquiring as to when the next lot of courses are coming. From the feedback we’ve received from the students who have attended so far, we would absolutely be happy to recommend the courses to other companies and organisations like ourselves.

As part of An Post Green Institute we find UCD Professional Academy offers our staff and managers the opportunity to enhance their personal and professional development through programmes that facilitate a deep level of engagement with the subject matter whilst being of a duration that compliments a healthy work life balance.

What we particularly like is that there are 3 study options - on campus, online and on demand - which really suits our demographic as we have employees based all over the world in different timezones. It gives employees the flexibility to choose the option that best suits their learning style and professional and personal commitments.
