Eleven major infrastructure projects will be delivered around the country as part of a Public-Private Partnership Programme for the Higher Education sector, including Letterkenny Institute of Technology. This programme responds directly to skills needs at the regional level, with a particular emphasis on STEM disciplines.
A priority is the establishment of a clearly prioritised Exchequer-supported higher education building programme. This includes plans to strengthen capacity through multi-campus Technological Universities and of Institutes of Technology and deepen the talent pool for distinctive regional sectoral clusters and drive applied research and innovation. This includes the Connacht Ulster Alliance, consisting of Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT), IT Sligo, and Letterkenny IT.
