Why I joined the UCD Innovation Academy…

“I saw first-hand the positive impact the IA had on close friends who had taken courses at the IA. As a result, I wanted to be a part of a team that enables people to see their growth potential, and build the confidence needed to achieve their goals, whether that be a career change, a return to work, upskilling for a leadership role, or taking on an entrepreneurial adventure.”
