The founder and chief executive of listed recruitment company CPL Resources has called for the Irish education system to be overhauled as it is no longer adequately preparing young people for the workplace. Anne Heraty, who founded CPL nearly 30 years ago, also called for increased spending on third-level education to ensure Irish universities are as good as those in other countries. “Our education system is set up for an industrial era and it hasn’t really changed in a hundred years. Ms Heraty became the first woman to be named Entrepreneur of the Year in Ireland in 2007. Speaking to The Irish Times, Ms Heraty also reiterated a recent call for better incentives for entrepreneurs in the Republic that are in line with what is offered in the UK.
