Lakeland Dairies understands the strategic importance of attracting talent into our business. The Lakeland Dairies Graduate Programme has been running for the past five years and the Food Drink Ireland Skillnet diploma programme has been a critical element of this process. This programme not only demonstrates our commitment to employee development, which supports the attraction of graduates, but it also has been vital in ensuring they develop the professional skills required to work within our business.

Collaborating with industry counterparts to address essential skills gaps is something of real value to ARYZTA Ireland. Since the launch of the network, they have developed essential programmes to address knowledge and skills gaps, that would not have been available to us, had it not been for the Food Drink Ireland Skillnet.
