Health care firm plans to sponsor college courses

THE world’s largest health care product manufacturer, The Johnson & Johnson (J&J) group, yesterday took its first steps towards sponsoring a number of customised courses in partnership with Cork Institute of Technology (CIT).

This emerged at the highly successful Careers Fair 2007 at the Cork college where students from all over Munster had the choice of 500 graduate, internship and summer opportunities with 57 leading companies exhibiting at the event.

Johnson & Johnson are currently looking at CIT certificates in Good Manufacturing Practice and Process Plant Technology with a view to partnering with the college in the very near future.
