At Irish Distillers, we have a history of supporting, nurturing and mentoring young talent.

Graduates are provided with the knowledge and tools necessary to shape their own experience as part of the programme, enabling them to hone and develop the skills required to progress their career, while contributing to the global Irish whiskey success story.

“The Jameson International Graduate Programme is a truly unique programme that understands the importance of supporting graduates’ personal and professional growth as they look to build their careers. Always adapting and evolving to meet the needs and expectations of graduates has been the key to the success of the programme.

“This year is very special for us as we reflect on what the programme has achieved over the past 30 years, and we recognise the consistent characteristics of our Brand Ambassadors; creative, innovative, self-starters with an entrepreneurial mindset. We call this ‘Serious Character’.”

The programme accepts applicants from all disciplines, and the four-week induction programme covers all bases, ensuring that graduates are equipped with the knowledge, skills and tools they need to hit the ground running.
