TU Dublin and Jones Engineering Deepen Partnership with TrailblazHER Programme
TU Dublin is proud to announce a deepening of our partnership with Jones Engineering, who have generously committed a significant four-year donation to the University’s TrailblazHER Programme. TrailblazHER is a TU Dublin-led community of people, organisations, and enterprises with a shared commitment to advancing gender equality. This support will enrich the learning experience for students through an initiative TU Dublin and Jones Engineering believe will be transformative, benefiting students and industry.
On Friday, 15 November, TU Dublin celebrated this partnership with an event on the University’s Grangegorman Campus. The event was attended by Jones Engineering CEO Stephen McCabe, TU Dublin Interim President Prof. John Doran, alongside staff from Jones Engineering and staff and students from TU Dublin. The event heralded the start of an exciting new chapter in the partnership between the University and Jones Engineering. Together, we are dedicated to promoting and enhancing opportunities for women at the secondary and tertiary education levels, as well as in their professional careers.
Speaking about the partnership, Claire MacNamee, Director of TrailblazHER at TU Dublin, said: “By supporting TrailblazHER, Jones Engineering is helping to shape a future where diversity is celebrated and where women are equipped with the resources, connections, and confidence they need to thrive in their careers.”
“At Jones Engineering, we firmly believe that fostering diversity and empowering women are critical to building stronger, more innovative teams. There is no doubt that our industry is still overwhelmingly male, but we are taking steps to rebalance this by supporting initiatives like the TrailblazHER Programme. This partnership with TU Dublin aligns with our people strategy, as we invest not only in our current workforce but also in the next generation who will shape the future of our industry through best-in-class training and development" Stephen McCabe, CEO of Jones Engineering.
