This document discusses the benefits of using Twitter for occupational therapists. It provides perspectives from three occupational therapists on how Twitter can be used for doing, being, becoming and belonging in the profession. Twitter allows occupational therapists to develop their professional identity, stay up to date on new information, share knowledge globally to improve practice standards, and feel part of the larger occupational therapy community. However, it also notes some risks like issues with public posts, identity theft, and ensuring information quality. Overall, Twitter is presented as a tool occupational therapists can use to enhance their practice if engaged with carefully and supported by professional organizations.

Attracting Talented Researchers To Ireland A Review Of The European Marie Cu...Brooke Heidt
This document provides an overview of the European Marie Curie Programme and its funding of research in Ireland. It discusses how the programme has funded early career researchers through training fellowships, enabling institutions like Dublin City University to recruit international PhD students. It also describes how the programme has supported researchers at all career stages and helped build research capacity in Ireland by attracting over €60 million in funding, significantly more than expected given Ireland's research population size. The programme has had a major positive impact on research in Ireland by developing researcher careers and forging links between academia and industry.
An investigation of recruitment and selection practices within SMEs in the Irish IT sector. Objective and Scope: The aim of this dissertation is to gain an understanding of recruitment and selection practices in the Irish IT sector. With the proliferation of technology, SMEs in the IT sector are a major economic driver. In Ireland, SMEs account for $10 billion annually and employ more than 900,000 people. However, research on recruitment and selection in SMEs is scarce and – given the numerous challenges and accelerating competition – SMEs face, it is ever more important for them know how to allocate their limited resources most effectively to find and recruit the best talent, since human resources is the life blood of any company. This research, consequently, aims to fill the gap in the literature regarding recruitment and selection in SMEs and seeks to identify ways SMEs can improve their recruitment and selection to attract and motivate employees, with a focus on millennials, the generation now entering the workforce. Ultimately, this study intends to provide SMEs with actionable insights and recommendations that they can implement to increase recruitment effectiveness.
This document summarizes a report on career adaptability and its role in skills supply. It defines career adaptability as an individual's ability to successfully transition through changes in the labor market, work organization, and occupational knowledge.

The summary also outlines several policy implications, including incorporating career adaptability into career support services, developing more dynamic concepts of employability, and expanding opportunity structures to support lifelong learning and career progression.
This document provides recommendations from the Royal Irish Academy on funding higher education in Ireland. It finds that higher education has faced budget cuts and increased student numbers, negatively impacting quality. It proposes increasing academic staff by 25-30% to achieve a student/staff ratio of 16:1, replacing the student contribution charge with income-contingent loans, and establishing an emergency public fund and allowing institutions to operate surpluses to invest in infrastructure maintenance and new buildings. Overall it calls for a balanced and increased approach to funding from multiple sources to support higher education in Ireland.
This document presents a major report on stakeholder inclusiveness in achieving sustainability in Ireland's construction projects.

This document provides recommendations from a feasibility study on establishing collaborative multi-disciplinary research facilities focused on tropical science in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Key recommendations include: 1) Cataloguing existing research and creating an online library to reduce duplication, 2) Using indigenous networks to facilitate community-engaged research, 3) Reviewing land access procedures to streamline negotiations, and 4) Establishing a collaborative research facility in Broome to accommodate diverse research areas and provide affordable accommodation for researchers. A comparative cost-benefit analysis of research facilities in different Australian regions is also recommended.
Innovation has been instrumental in the development of energy and mineral resources, which are significant contributors to Australian economic growth and prosperity. Despite only accounting for around 10% of GDP, the resources sector (including minerals, oil and gas) contributed one-third of Australia’s income growth between 2005 and 2011(5) and is responsible for more than half of all Australian exports by value.(6) Australia is the world’s second largest producer of iron ore(7) and second largest exporter of coal by tonnage.(8) Going back further, innovation has played a key role in the growth of the resources sector and has often been a major factor in overcoming challenges and unlocking value.
According to the World Bank, innovation “is the main source of economic growth, it helps improve productivity, it is the foundation of competitiveness, and it improves welfare.”(1) Companies that innovate grow faster(2) and are more profitable(3) than those that don’t. Studies also show that innovation is the number one driver of productivity in the Australian oil and gas industry.(4)

Similar to Collins Mc Nicholas PhD Survey2010 (20)
4. 1. INTRODUCTION
The Collins McNicholas Group conducted a national survey of the number of PhD Graduates
currently registered on its database in the regions served by its offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway,
Sligo, and Athlone. A total of 2,018 PhD Graduates were analysed for the survey.
This highly qualified group of people register with us in the course of our recruitment and HR
services: they have expressed an interest in being made aware of relevant opportunities; they
may have a good position at present but are open to review new opportunities.
The result is that the Collins Mc Nicholas Group has direct confidential access to over 2,000 PhDs
in Ireland – one of the most scarce “natural resources" available to the country. We can access
this bank of talent on behalf of Irish indigenous companies or foreign companies and we do so on
a regular basis. This survey provides a breakdown of the 2,018 PhDs by their study discipline and
by the regions they are located in.
According to the report "The Role of PhDs in the Smart Economy" (Advisory Science Council 2009),
PhD graduates make an effective contribution to enterprise and optimally contribute to increased
innovation in the sector. PhDs who embark on a career in enterprise can bring with them, not
only the knowledge they acquired directly through their research, but also skills, working methods
and a network of relationships, to whom they can turn for support in their professional lives. The
holder of a PhD has demonstrated the capacity to be a strong independent thinker and
researcher. A steady stream of PhD Graduates is vital to ensure that Ireland has the knowledge,
skills and creativity that will provide us with the economic capacity to translate ideas into valuable
processes, products and services. It will improve Ireland’s human capital – ensuring the Irish
workforce has the skills that modern high-tech economies need. The availability of advanced
researcher skills is essential in attracting foreign direct investment. Ireland needs to maintain a
competitive output of PhDs in relevant disciplines, in line with other developed countries, in order
to remain attractive to potential investors.
According to Science Foundation Ireland [SFI];
The number of researchers within the enterprise sector increased from 6,937 in 2001, to
8,304 in 2007, an increase of 20%.
The number of PhD-qualified researchers has increased from 420 in 2001, to 1,191 in 2007
(an increase of 183% over the same period).
Half of all research personnel employed since 2001 were PhD qualified researchers.
In 2008, the SFI directly supported 2,812 research jobs in teams where leaders leveraged a
further 3076 jobs from other sources of funding.
The rise in PhD graduate numbers is the result of initiatives including the Programme for Research
in Third Level Institutions (PRTLI) and the Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation, which
aim to ensure Ireland’s position as a leader in the knowledge economy, and as a centre of
research excellence.
It is projected that the annual number of PhD graduates will reach 1,300 by 2013. On 1 March
2009, there were 5,945 PhD students enrolled in third level institutions in Ireland including 2017 in
Science; 867 in Engineering and Manufacturing; and 885 in Social Science, Business and Law.

5. In summary, the benefits PhD graduates bring to firms are manifold: new knowledge, working
methods, a personal network, "knowledge of knowledge", and the ability to perform a number of
functions that are crucial to the innovation process primarily solving complex problems, "gate
keeping", knowledge translation and knowledge absorption.
Increased numbers of PhD Graduates in the Biotechnology, BioPharma, Software and Engineering
fields will act as a magnet for foreign direct investment. They will also help indigenous companies
innovate and compete in emerging high tech global markets. If we are to fully embrace the
smart/knowledge economy it is essential that we invest further in fourth level education and
continue to increase our PhD output.
I would like to acknowledge the valuable information on PhDs produced by the Higher Education
Authority, the Science Foundation of Ireland and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and
Innovation.

About the Collins McNicholas Survey
Relevant Assumptions
The Galway Office is the longest established (1990) within the Collins McNicholas Group and
the greater number of PhD graduates registered with the office will be reflected in the survey.
Collins McNicholas is a nationally based recruitment and HR services company and is
differentiated from its competitors by its strong market presence in the regions. The number
of PhD graduates registered on the Dublin database is proportionately less in comparison to
the representation of PhD graduates registered with the other offices.
Of the 2,018 PhD graduates surveyed from the Collins McNicholas database, 73% were
graduates of a science related discipline. Collins McNicholas’ strength in recruiting for the
Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices sectors reflects this statistic.
About Collins McNicholas
Established in 1990 and celebrating 20 years in business, Collins McNicholas is an Irish based
Recruitment and HR Services Company that sources executive, professional and administrative
personnel for its client companies. With five offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway (Headquarters), Sligo
and Athlone - it is the only nationally based recruitment company headquartered outside of
Dublin.
