Bord Bía want you to work with them across the globe, but you’d better apply soon!

Have you graduated from college? Do you have an interest in Irish food and drink? Would you like to make a career out of it? If you answered yes to all of those questions, continue reading.

Bord Bía are looking for 70 graduates to give them the chance to develop their professional and personal skills while working and learning among the very best in the food and drink industry.

They also have fantastic programmes specifically for people with a certain amount of work experience, and graduates from all disciplines are welcome to apply. Yes, even if you have studied Existential Russian Poetry.

Fluency in a second language is a big bonus as it’s essential for some of the roles. Of course, you have to love your food and drink too, but we’re assuming, if you’re still reading, that won’t be a problem.

Successful applicants will receive the best training and education from some of the world’s leading authorities in food and drink who have backgrounds in Harvard, IMD, NYU Stern and UCD Michael Smurfit School.

They will partake in an 18-month work placement with leading Irish and international food and drink companies and within Bord Bía’s global network of offices.

Previous students, for example, have brought their new found skills to brand headquarters like Starbucks, Nestle, Danone, Sainsbury’s, Diageo, Mars, Tesco, Marks & Spencer, Alibaba and more.

You haven’t even heard the best bit yet. Do you know that this entire scholarship programme sees all tuition fees PAID? You’ll even receive a tax-free bursary of up to €30,000 every 12 months to cover living expenses.

On top of all that, you’ll earn yourself an internationally recognised Masters or Post Graduate Diploma that will bring great career opportunities and open doors to pave a career path like no other.

Interested?
