One of the most successful graduate programmes for aspiring marketers is underway with Irish Distillers looking for the next crop of graduates to join the company for the 2020/2021 Jameson International Graduate Programme.
Now in its 28th year, it provides graduates with the opportunity to distil their own success and realise personal and professional goals, while working with a global Irish brand on an international stage.
According to Sinéad D’Arcy, Head of Jameson International Graduate Programme: “Jameson is the number one Irish whiskey in the world with sales of 7.7 million cases last year with double or triple-digit growth in more than 70 markets across the world. It is fast becoming a truly global brand, with strong sales in emerging markets like Nigeria, India, Mexico, and Brazil. The growth of the Jameson International Graduate Programme mirrors that of Jameson, therefore we are looking to recruit Brand Ambassadors for our 2020/2021 intake, some of whom will have the opportunity to work in emerging markets in Africa, Asia and Latin America.”
Successful graduates are provided with the opportunity to shape their own experience supported by a competitive benefits package; a multi-award-winning training and development programme in addition to a global support network.
“Over the past 28 years, the programme has evolved to meet the changing needs and expectations of graduates, as well as the Jameson brand. Last year we recruited a number of Brand Ambassadors in local markets. These hires have the knowledge and network locally to help build the Jameson brand and drive awareness. Their participation on the programme helps drive diversity, knowledge sharing and ultimately build a graduate programme representative of the Jameson brand,” adds D’Arcy.
Graduates are based across all five continents, and in the past three years the programme has grown significantly in Africa, Asia and Latin America with Brand Ambassadors now based in countries such as Cameroon, Peru, Mexico and Malaysia. To date, over 400 graduates have completed the Jameson International Graduate Programme since it was established in 1991. Alumni have progressed to global internal roles at Irish Distillers and Pernod Ricard and externally across various sectors.”
Applications for the 2020/21 Jameson International Graduate Programme open at the end of September and close on Wednesday 15th January 2020 at 1pm. Applicants should visit jamesongraduateprogramme.com for more information.
