Ireland’s 100 leading graduate employers
Ireland’s 100 leading graduate employers reveals Ireland’s most sought-after employers from the perspective of those that matter most – the students and graduates who will provide the next generation of innovators and leaders in Irish business.
The Ireland’s 100 leading graduate employers survey is conducted by a market research firm Trendence, and is the biggest study of students’ career aspirations and the effectiveness of employer brands in Ireland. The 2019/20 survey collected over 13,000 responses from university students and graduates from every university and college in Ireland. The data produced decides the winners of Ireland’s 100 and the winners of the gradireland Graduate Recruitment Awards.
You can find more information in gradireland’s book Ireland's 100 leading graduate employers, published annually and available free from your university careers service or available to view online here from early October.
