UiPath, a superior enterprise automation software organization, recently announced the opening of Ireland's first automation academy, which will educate the next generation of the country's workforce on automation. Via the sponsorship of a pilot traineeship, the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board have collaborated with the ABP School of Automation to provide this training.

The new approach will educate students in Ireland's Limerick and Clare regions on how to create virtual assistants that automate repetitive tasks using robotic process automation (RPA). The project is funded by UiPath's Academic Alliance program and is based on a promising initiative launched in Scotland last year.

According to the report, "The school will create a new generation of RPA developers with vocational and life skills that are highly sought after," said Marc Cooper, CEO of ABP School of Automation. "Automation is going to change the way we work forever, for the better, and we need people with the expertise to support that. We're excited to open new possibilities for workers in Ireland in partnership with UiPath."

Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board will give 30 learners an 18-month traineeship as part of this pilot. Anyone 16 or older, even those on social services, is eligible to participate in the pilot. RPA development, unlike other software, does not necessitate coding skills because it uses low-code platforms, which enable users to automate processes using an intuitive interface rather than dealing with complex coding languages.
