Our Stories

Just like the steps that go into getting us job ready, there is so much that goes into the making of the perfect pint and it was a joy to learn more about that on our jobsite visit to St James' Gate. Thank you @DiageoIreland for sharing your passion for your work, your staff career journeys and for teaching us about the different roles that exist within an international drinks company. Thank you especially to organisers Prism Neurodiversity ERG, @EllenLeonard and speakers Kat Riddell and Graeme McKinnon. Slainte!
