Summary

We are excited to sponsor a new equity, diversity, and inclusion scholarship for students of the University of Limerick's Immersive Software Engineering (ISE) course – valued at €10,000. Software engineering will play a crucial role in the future of business, society, and even our planet, and we need diverse teams working on the world’s most pressing problems to ensure a bright future. Intercom is committed to building diverse teams by celebrating differences and fostering belonging. The scholarship aims to facilitate students from underrepresented groups to pursue a career in software engineering, providing them with practical experience and access to education. The course offers a holistic approach to software engineering skills, blending academic theory with hands-on experience, and is designed to prepare students for the real workforce.
