What our Graduates have to say:

The Bandon Co-op Graduate Programme in Bandon Vale has been an incredibly valuable experience. Building on my Food Science background, I gained practical exposure in areas such as the commercial office, technical operations, and the production floor. This hands-on experience allowed me to apply my academic knowledge in real-world scenarios, strengthening my skills in communication, problem-solving, and process improvement.

What our Graduates have to say:

The Bandon Co-op Graduate Programme has been an invaluable experience where I felt welcomed and supported. Rotations in transport, quality, production, and Agri sales expanded my skills, with great mentorship throughout. I learned how to operate the feed mill, understand feed cube production, and work independently in the lab, analysing ruminant and poultry feed. I have tested silage and fresh grass enhancing my ability to describe the results. This programme built a strong foundation for me to prepare for my next role in the Co-op.
