Found a fondness for Dublin's multicultural ambiance, leading to a decision to set roots and establish professional life in the Emerald Isle.
In the vibrant world of business and technology, two individuals are making their mark, each with a unique background and a shared passion for sustainability.
The first, hailing from the Basque Country in northern Spain, embarked on their professional journey in Ireland. After studying Pharmaceutical Healthcare at TU Dublin in Grangegorman, they moved to Trinity College Dublin to pursue a Master's in Finance. Their journey led them to the Accenture graduate programme, a decision influenced by the company's strong technology profile, reputation for innovation, and alignment with their skills and interests.
The second individual, a native of Ireland who grew up in north Dublin, followed a slightly different path. They studied at the University of Hamburg, earning a Magister degree in 1996, and later completed a doctorate in literary studies in 2000. Their journey brought them back to Ireland, where they found the Amgen graduate programme through LinkedIn and a career fair at the RDS.
Both individuals have found success in their respective programmes. The Spanish native is currently a Sustainability Analyst, while the Irish individual is in a rotational programme, working in Inspection. Their experiences have been positive, offering opportunities to network, join projects, and learn from colleagues.
Both individuals have also participated in training at the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) facility and a Yellow Belt project. These experiences have equipped them with the necessary skills to help clients in industries like consumer goods or resources define and drive their strategies towards a net-zero path after the programme.
As they look to the future, both individuals have ambitious plans. The Spanish native aims to work as a senior associate or manager in inspection or process-owner roles, while the Irish individual plans to work in the area of helping clients in industries like consumer goods or resources define and drive their strategies towards a net-zero path.
For those considering applying to similar programmes, both individuals offer advice. The Spanish individual advises graduates to focus their CV on why they're a strong fit and highlight relevant experience. They also encourage exploring different directions within sustainability. The Irish individual found the Amgen programme through online research and a career fair at Trinity College, emphasising the importance of staying informed and seizing opportunities.
In the end, these two individuals, with their diverse backgrounds and shared passion, are a testament to the power of learning, growth, and the pursuit of a sustainable future. Their stories serve as inspiration for those seeking to make a difference in the world of business and technology.
