100 Jobs In Workday Expansion – Bruton

A business software company is to create 100 jobs in Dublin, the Jobs Minister has announced.

Minister Richard Bruton announced that Workday, a leader in financial and "human capital" software, is to create 100 new jobs in Dublin over the next three years.

Making today’s announcement Minister Bruton said: "A key aspect of my plan to get jobs and growth into the economy again will be targeting sectors where Ireland has advantages and the potential to be a world leader.

"Cloud computing is one such sector. Over the past year we have seen several very significant announcements in this sector and the government is working hard to ensure that the right policies are in place to ensure that we can take full advantage of that potential."

Mr Burton added that the announcement shows that Ireland is "on the right track".

The news is part of a global deployment of Workday's Human Capital Management project that is to take on 57,000 workers in 60 countries.
