LIKE that army recruiting poster of long ago, Bord Bia is “looking for a few good men and women” to join its Talent Academy for rewarding careers in Ireland’s food industry.

Offering successful applicants a funded master’s, work experience in Ireland or abroad, plus a tax-free monthly bursary, the academy was established to identify and develop executive talent for Ireland’s food and drink sector, with programmes that address the challenges and opportunities in the industry.
