Education
Ireland’s labour force is among the best educated in the world with very low turnover when compared to other European countries. It’s not surprising then, that the Irish education system continues to rank in the top ten in the world1.
The percentage of the population aged 25 to 34 years who hold a third level qualification is higher in Ireland than in the United States or in the UK. Ireland also ranks third in the Euro area for the numbers of mathematics, science and computing graduates aged between 20 and 29 years.
Wexford and the South East region is the source of an enthusiastic and steady stream of smart, talented people ideal for knowledge-based companies seeking a strong, English-speaking workforce.
Wexford Town finds itself at the apex of a triangle of highly regarded, higher education facilities and hosts its own third level campus on a beautiful site overlooking the urban centre of the town and the Irish Sea.
