Extending over 4.8 acres, Capital Dock is designed to meet the needs of the many rapidly expanding international businesses based in Dublin. Positioned on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, in the heart of Dublin’s Docklands, Capital Dock is one of the largest single phase ground up developments to be delivered in Dublin with over 660,000 sq ft of new mixed-use space. The campus-style scheme is designed by award-winning Irish architecture firm O’Mahony Pike and will include 345,000 sq ft of office space across 100, 200 and 300 Capital Dock and 190 high-quality rented residential units with waterfront views across three aspects, including a 23-storey tower marking the gateway to the city.

The residents at Capital Dock will enjoy the signature Kennedy Wilson Residential range of amenities and professional services as part of their daily living along with 1.5 acres of new public realm space, retail and restaurant offerings. Kennedy Wilson has delivered a premium amenity offering in Dublin since 2012 and Capital Dock will provide a further elevated level of service.

J.P.

“Our commitment to Capital Dock began in 2012 when we acquired a loan secured by the State Street Building and its adjoining site. Our team’s execution of converting that loan to direct real estate, strategic site assembly and structuring the joint venture with NAMA and securing master planning has culminated in the construction and delivery of our vision for this dynamic campus, which will be full of energy as we welcome J.P. Morgan employees to Capital Dock.”

JobStreet Education Eyes Increasingly Important Role

KUALA LUMPUR May 16 (Bernama) -- JobStreet Education, an online education portal for working adults has partnered with 12 local and international education and training providers and enrolled over 500 Malaysians to take part in its programmes.

JobStreet Education general manager Lautaro Fernandez, said this was in line with its mission to help Malaysians find the right training to help them achieve their career goals.

"In our experience, the Malaysian workforce is motivated to embark on education and upskilling programmes. They see the importance of taking control of their careers and investing in professional development," he said in a statement.

The portal celebrates its first anniversary this month.

On its future plans, Fernandez reckoned that JobStreet Education would play an increasingly important role in providing courses across more industries and giving Malaysians the best education choices and career advice possible.

It achieved a milestone last March when it obtained a certification as a Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) trainer enabling employers registered with HRDF to apply for training grants for any programme offered by JobStreet Education.

The online education portal currently offers qualifications in information technology, project management, business, supply chain planning, education, hospitality, and marketing.
