What is Springboard+?
Springboard+ courses are co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union. It is an upskilling initiative that offers a range of free and subsidised courses at certificate, degree, and master’s levels. These courses are designed to allow individuals to gain qualifications in areas with employment opportunities in the economy. Springboard+ courses at TU Dublin are created with industry, ensuring they are relevant and provide graduates with up-to-date skills and knowledge. Courses are typically offered part-time for a maximum of 12 months, allowing people to continue with their existing commitments.
Who can apply?
Everyone can apply for a Springboard+ course, regardless of your status of employment - they are available to people seeking employment, people in employment, as well as recent graduates. The courses remain free of charge those unemployed. For those in employment, there will be a fee of 10% of the contribution to the total course fee. Visit the Springboard+ portal for more information on eligibility criteria and details on how to apply.
