Student graduates - College can be proud of jobs record

When this country was making strenuous efforts to industrialise under the leadership of Seán Lemass, considerable emphasis was placed on the role that the Shannon area could play, as was highlighted during John F Kennedy’s famous visit in 1963.

Shannon College of Hotel Management has been one of the great success stories over the intervening years. At its graduation ceremonies yesterday, the college was able to boast that all 62 of the students being conferred with their degrees have found employment. The college can be justifiably proud of this achievement.

In the past 60 years more than 2,000 students have graduated from the college and gone on to find employment at home and abroad.
