Trinity Business School Hosts the launch of Career Zoo 2015

Posted on: 09 February 2015

Minister Richard Bruton joined Dr James Quinn, Head of Trinity School of Business, to launch Career Zoo 2015 in the Business School at Trinity College Dublin last week. Career Zoo is now a widely recognised professional networking event in Ireland, attracting over 10,000 job seekers, and has established itself as a major feature of the Irish calendar.  During the one day event, some of the world’s most innovative companies and educational institutes are expected to meet Ireland’s finest talent, in a bid to fill opportunities on offer across multiple sectors including financial services, pharmaceuticals, science and technology. 

Launching the Career Zoo February 2015 event, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation, Richard Bruton TD, said:

Every job created is a life changed, a family improved, a community enhanced. I wish every success to those involved and hope that the event can be the start of a new phase for businesses and job-seekers alike.

Dr Quinn commented: 

We are delighted to be the education sponsor for the 2015 Career Zoo event, following the success of last year. Our commitment is to prepare students for the world of work through our graduate and MBA programs, which to continue to provide one of the best postgraduate experiences in the world. We believe that small class sizes, research-led teaching, and specialist technical modules means that Trinity Business School can offer a differentiated, valuable degree. We work collaboratively with our students, businesses and faculty to forge a cohort of exceptional leaders, while also contributing positively to the business environment and the wider community.  Every element of our programme is designed to stimulate students’ imagination, initiative and sense innovation, while attuning them to the overall context of sustainability.
