Award-Winning Development
Our Graduate Programme is recognised as one of Ireland’s best, winning multiple gradireland awards for training and development. You’ll step into a real role from day one, with expert guidance, mentoring, and hands-on experience. Over two years (three for accountancy), you’ll build skills, confidence, and career momentum—working on business projects, presenting to our CEO and senior leaders, and connecting with former grads now in senior roles like Director, Brand Manager, Data Scientist, AI and Automation Architect, and Commercial Manager. Three of our graduates have won the prestigious gradireland Graduate Employee of the Year award since 2018, a reflection of the impact our graduates have on our business.

Customised Learning with Musgrave Institute
Your development is powered by the Musgrave Institute—a centre of excellence for learning and growth. Musgrave Institute offers a wide range of on-demand and instructor-led training, covering leadership, digital skills, customer centricity, influencing, sustainability, and more. You’ll shape your own journey, supported by flexible learning, coaching, and access to exclusive programmes on our leadership development pathway and supported by your Performance & Development Experience. 

Culture & Community
Musgrave values connection—through social events, our Early Careers Summit, and GenRep, our Youth Board that gives young voices a say in Musgrave’s future. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) bring colleagues together around shared interests and identities, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. 

Hybrid Working
Our flexible hybrid model lets you split your time between home and our Cork or Dublin offices (typically 3 days in the business), supporting work-life balance and collaboration
