Ireland Launches Fully Funded Prompt Engineering Course as Generative AI Adoption Reaches 45% of Professionals

CeADAR, Ireland's national centre for applied AI, has launched a free, fully funded course to help working professionals build practical prompt engineering skills for use within their organizations, as Ireland continues to rank among Europe's top AI adopters.

Key Takeaways

• The "Prompt Engineering for You" programme is funded by the European Commission and Enterprise Ireland, aligning with the Irish government's 'AI - Good for Business' initiative.
• The course covers five modules on prompt engineering fundamentals, techniques, and designing clear and effective prompts for real-world organizational use. No technical or coding background is required.
• Ireland ranks 5th in the EU for generative AI adoption at 45%, well above the EU average of 33%, and 2nd in EU for basic digital skills with 83% of the population holding at least basic competency (vs 60% EU average).
• Participants earn a certificate of completion from CeADAR's EDIH for AI programme.

CeADAR's director of innovation Ricardo Simon Carbajo described the programme as designed to "cut through that clutter and help organisations navigate as they adopt AI," building on an earlier "AI for You" course from the same centre.
