Commenting on ChangingWorlds’ achievement, John Power, Chartered Engineer and Engineers Ireland Director General said “At Engineers Ireland we were very impressed with the excellent processes ChangingWorlds’ has in place for training, development and knowledge management. ChangingWorlds is the only indigenous software company to have undertaken Engineers Ireland CPD Accreditation to ensure the continuous development of its staff. By joining the CPD Accreditation scheme, ChangingWorlds has demonstrated its commitment to its software engineers by presenting them with the opportunity to have their educational qualifications and professional titles recognised internationally.”

 

Also speaking today, David Moran CEO of ChangingWorlds said ‘At ChangingWorlds we are very committed to the ongoing professional development and training of our software engineers and we see this as a key differentiator and benefit for new staff joining ChangingWorlds. We decided to sign ChangingWorlds up to the programme as we were confident that we could demonstrate that we had many training and development processes in place that met with the criteria for Engineers Ireland CPD accreditation. We see this as a hugely worthwhile investment – our staff are keen to improve their technical skills and develop their career paths and we in turn reap the benefits of the new skills and technical expertise that they gain.”.

 

The CPD Accreditation Scheme is designed to support lifelong learning, by stimulating and recognising good organisational practice in the areas of professional development for engineers and technical staff.

 

The world economy has become increasingly globalised over the past ten years. For Irish professional engineers working in this global economy, it is essential that their educational qualifications and professional titles have international recognition. Engineers Ireland has ensured that engineering and engineering technology programmes it has accredited have wide international recognition.
