Limerick has the high-quality output of its University and Government support through the IDA to thank for the announcement of 20 new jobs in a language translation company, according to Fine Gael Deputy Patrick O’Donovan.
CETRA, the US-headquartered language translation company, is establishing its European Service Centre in Limerick with the support of Government through IDA Ireland. The company will create 20 jobs in Limerick to serve their existing European clients and further grow its client base. CETRA Ireland staff will include management, administration, project managers and sales staff. The company will initially locate in the Limerick Institute of Technology Acceleration Centre. The company will begin recruitment for initial positions immediately.
“At a time when we are seeing large numbers emigrating it is very encouraging to see jobs being created as a direct result of the courses that are being offered in Limerick,” said Deputy O’Donovan.
“CETRA has said that they were attracted to Limerick because of the graduate output of the University of Limerick and the ability to collaborate with the Localisation Research Centre in UL to develop a technology localisation offering. That is a glowing endorsement of the work being done at the University. The Government has also played its part in bringing about yet another jobs announcement through the supports offered by the IDA.”
CETRA offers translation, localisation and interpretation services to the market research, legal, and life science industries using a global network of professional linguists. CETRA’s team of multilingual project managers brings a wealth of diverse, worldwide experience to each request. CETRA adds value through prompt and responsive assistance, insightful cultural consulting, and a proactive, partnering approach.
Making today’s announcement Minister Richard Bruton said:.”With the right policies we can replicate this announcement across the country over the coming years. I am determined to achieve the high levels of jobs growth we so badly need, and that is why in January with the Action Plan for Jobs we will start implementing radical reform across the economy to help get people back to work”.
