The cross-border co-op’s initiative is aimed at upcoming graduates in disciplines such as food science, human nutrition, IT, supply chain and logistics, engineering and agri-science.
Lakeland staff are visiting third-level institutions, north and south, advising students and careers departments. The programme is designed to support the future growth and development of the Lakeland Dairies business.
