Why should you attend gradireland Live?

Maybe you got an email from us or got told by a friend to get a ticket… either way you’ve registered for gradireland Live, but perhaps aren’t sure what it is and what you’ve signed up for.

Rest easy, we’re here to explain what’s happening on the day and how to make the most of it!

The day itself is all about taking time for yourself to invest in your future, for free!

Meet top employers looking to recruit people like YOU plus postgrad providers from Ireland and abroad!

gradireland Live is all about meeting the graduate recruiters from the companies you want to work for and getting the inside track on their internships and graduate programmes.

Yes, we live in a digital world and information is constantly accessible through our phones and laptops, but face-to-face conversation and interaction shouldn’t be undervalued.

Having a chat with a recruiter from one of the employers attending on the day can give you a real insight into the company’s culture, values and opportunities.  You may even find an employer you had never considered has the type of graduate opportunities you are looking for…. So, keep an open mind and you may well be pleasantly surprised.

Plus, if you are thinking of doing a masters we will have a range of postgrad providers from Ireland and abroad ready to chat to you about their course offerings.

You can see the full list of exhibitors here….
