Expanding Care Workforce Through New College Places | Cork News
Description
The government is launching a major push to tackle workforce shortages in health and social care, adding 274 new college places for high-demand roles like occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychology — with 76 more spots coming this year. Targeted at disability services and primary care, the initiative includes a groundbreaking new doctorate in educational psychology and is just the first phase of a broader plan aiming for 1,400 new places by 2029. This is a vital step to relieve pressure on frontline workers and ensure communities — especially children and vulnerable adults — get the support they need.
