“You’re not treated any differently, and everyone genuinely wants you to do well—from competitions to college, and now in my career. You’ve worked just as hard as anyone else to get here, so I never shy away from being one of the few women in the room.”

Leah Glass, a 23-year-old DkIT civil engineering graduate from Ardee, Co. Louth, was recently named winner of the Digital Infrastructure Design competition at WorldSkills Ireland 2025, beating strong rivals from Sligo and Galway. The final took place in Dublin’s RDS, where nearly 30,000 students gathered to explore careers and watch 180 finalists compete across 35 national contests. Digital Infrastructure Design — the discipline underpinning modern IT — centres on creating secure, scalable systems that keep information connected and businesses running.

Leah is currently working as a graduate engineer in Glanua, a water and wastewater design and build specialist.  At present, she is on her first rotation, working on upgrades to a wastewater treatment plant and is really enjoying seeing the project come to life.
