Production/Manufacturing Graduates, Kerry Group

Production/Manufacturing Graduates
When you join the Kerry Group graduate development programme you are placed into a real job, with real responsibilities from day one. You will be well supported in your team and will be encouraged to put forward your ideas in order to make an early contribution to the business.

Life in Manufacturing at Kerry Foods means delivering our products in the right quantities, to tight time scales. This must be achieved in the most cost-effective way, under specific quality and hygiene requirements. You would begin by getting directly involved in the production and packing of products on the line. This is where you will learn how to motivate, performance manage, develop and coach other people. Balancing managerial responsibilities with a friendly and open style is vital to doing the job well. You will be expected to continue with a `hands-on’ approach.

You will need to ensure that each member of your team knows exactly what is required and constantly monitor and encourage them. Finding solutions to issues and seeking improvements to your area is what it’s all about. You’ll need bags of energy and personal motivation!

Graduate Development Programme
The graduate development modules take place over a period of two years and are specifically focussed on developing your management skills. You will typically spend three days every 2 – 3 months on these modules with all of the other graduates across the business. You will find that you learn so much about the business from each other and will really develop as a team.

In addition to these group workshops, you will attend a series of one to one coaching sessions with our qualified coaches, who will help to guide you through the early stages of your career.

This will give you an excellent grounding on which to build a successful career with Kerry Foods. In addition, our programme is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) which means that you will be awarded with a Diploma in Management when you finish!
