About the Programme
BACKGROUND AND ORIGIN
This Programme was developed by UCC in response to a request from Enterprise Ireland (formerly Forbairt) through its Prepared Consumer Foods Working Group for a Management Programme for newly appointed graduates in the Food Industry together with established managers and team leaders in the same companies. This is now in its 13th successive year.
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
The main objective of the Programme is to provide education and training to newly appointed technical graduates and established managers in the principles of good management practice.
Considerable attention will be devoted throughout the Programme to the development and enhancement of the interpersonal and communication skills of the participants.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND

TRAINING APPROACH
Workshop modules will consist of lectures given by both academic and business practitioners as well as action learning syndicate work and assignments.

Additionally, the Programme Management Team will visit participants and mentors in the companies over the duration of the Programme.
