Sports tech
The sports industry is experiencing a massive shift toward digital. Cloud platforms, AI and data analytics enhance athlete performance, improve the fan experience, and optimize sporting events.

This increased skill demand informed the impetus for the Digital Athlete Program.

Results
From data to business insights
During the work placements, the digital athletes used PowerBI and Tableau to extract insights from enterprise data. This helped firms such as Epic Global and organizations including Badminton Ireland to improve client experiences and deliver continuous improvements.
Filling challenging roles
In a very competitive market for technical talent, the program has established new ways of recruiting data capable individuals. Many of the digital athletes have moved into full-time or contract roles as data analysts, data scientists or data engineers.
Re-joining the workforce with new skills and confidence
The program brought together a cohort of women with a shared purpose – getting back into the workforce alongside a keen interest in technology and the sports sector.
The training has helped to rebuild professional networks, achieve the latest technical skills, and establish the confidence needed to impress during job interviews and succeed in the selection process.
