CeADAR launches graduate programme for 2024/2025
CeADAR, Ireland’s National Centre for AI, is today launching its call for applications for its 2024/25 Work-Ready Graduate Programme (WRGP).
The 12-month industry placement initiative, part-funded by Enterprise Ireland, is designed to help Irish businesses explore and implement AI-driven technologies while minimising risk.
It places skilled graduates directly into host companies to work on cutting-edge projects while receiving ongoing technical support from CeADAR’s experts and access to innovative R&D resources. The projects are delivered using innovation artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics.
Since launching in 2018/19, the programme has placed masters-level graduates in more than 32 companies spanning a range of sectors including companies working in fintech, wind energy, legal, asset management, and drone development. Host companies include high-potential start-ups, SMEs, and multinational corporations.
With the backing of CeADAR’s extensive R&D resources, host companies have access to technology demonstrators, proofs of concept, and industry-ready AI solutions, while also benefiting from ecosystem networking, funding support, and training.
Graduates gain invaluable, real-world experience under the guidance of a CeADAR mentor, ensuring they are well-equipped with the skills needed to integrate AI into the industry.
Managed by a dedicated Programme Manager, the initiative ensures seamless onboarding, training coordination, and placement support, acting as the bridge between graduates, mentors, and industry partners.
WRGP principal investigator Dr Arsalan Shahid (pictured) said: “At CeADAR, we are committed to making AI more accessible to all sectors of the economy. Our Work-Ready Graduate Programme bridges the gap between academic knowledge and practical industry application, giving companies a unique opportunity to explore AI, ML, and data-driven projects with reduced risk. Graduates receive hands-on experience while contributing to meaningful projects that drive innovation and efficiency.”
