Overview
The Diploma in Applied Business Computing is a targeted initiative which has been
developed by Business Information Systems, UCC. The goal is to help address the
problem of individuals from marginalized areas of society being underrepresented
in IT courses run by third-level institutions. The Diploma is specifically aimed
at the long term unemployed.
This programme also helps to redress the issue of individuals who, for a variety
of reasons, have been denied access to value-added activities in one of the most
vibrant sectors of the employment market. The diploma has, and continues to, ensure
access for these students to the programme.
Where is the course held?
The site for the Diploma is situated off-campus in Farrenferris College, in the
north side of Cork. This site was chosen as central to the areas considered to be
in need of further social inclusion into third level institutes; in effect bringing
the programme to those it is aimed at, in order to increase social inclusion.
Who runs the course?
The Diploma is a joint initiative between the Business Information Systems Group,
Cork Institute of Technology, the Centre for Adult and Continuing Education at UCC,
and the Cork City Partnership. A steering group with representatives from these
bodies, and others who work with those from socially disadvantaged regions, direct
and monitor the programme.
Applications for this course will be accepted in 2010.
