Follow our journey as we build Ireland's premier network engineering program
Every milestone, every step forward in building something meaningful
Our Sponsorship Strategy has been developed and published on the website. We've launched awareness campaigns across Ireland and on social media to reach both student prospects and organizations interested in supporting the program—not with direct funding, but through contributions like tools, lab resources, and guest lectures.
Impact: We are actively engaging with several potential partners who share our vision and commitment to empowering the next generation of network engineers.
The Next Hop Ireland website and initial program strategy officially went live. This marks the beginning of our mission to develop Ireland's local network engineering talent through comprehensive education and mentorship.
Impact: We've begun receiving applications from both within Ireland and overseas. As outlined in our FAQ, domestic applications will take precedence to ensure we meet our primary goal of developing Ireland's local network engineering talent.
Stay tuned as we continue building something meaningful for Ireland's network engineering community. Follow our progress as we move closer to the March 2026 program launch.
