About This Project

What is this?

This is an independent tool that visualises Irish employment permit statistics published by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE). It helps immigrants, job seekers, and researchers understand which companies sponsor work permits, in which sectors and locations, and how trends are evolving.

Data Source

All data comes from the official DETE statistics page. We cover 2022–2025 (full years) and 2026 (January–September).

How to use

• Companies – Search for any company to see how many permits they received across years, and find job links
• Sectors – Explore industries to see trends and find suggested courses (technical & university)
• Counties – Check the geographic distribution and approval rates
• Company Detail – Click on any company for year-by-year breakdown and direct links to job boards

Course Recommendations

The course suggestions for each sector include Irish government-funded programs (Springboard+, SOLAS, ETBs), university programs, and industry certifications. Many of these courses are free or heavily subsidised.
