New Future Talent Podcast Episode Coming Next Tuesday, 7th November
Future Talent Podcast Episode 6: Enterprise Led Programme Design
In this latest episode of the Future Talent Podcast Series, you will hear how one academic with her ear to the ground around the growth of Ireland's brewing and distilling industry, was afforded the opportunity to conduct research through the HEA-funded Convene project to explore how academia could support this booming sector.
While we may often have an informed hunch or intuition that there might be a need for a new education programme or offering, Dr Ciara Walsh talks through the rigorous research process she followed, together with industry-informed knowledge and data, to move a ‘hunch’ to a well-informed, data-driven decision to launch a Postgraduate Certificate in Brewing and Distilling.
Dr Walsh is joined by an award winning graduate of the new programme, Stuart McNamara to share his entrepreneurial story. And Stuart is indeed an entertaining storyteller! He describes himself as a Soldier, Sailor and Whiskey Maker, and his story demonstrates how he has brought these skills forward into his new project- Portmagee Whiskey distillery and tourist exhibition centre, off the coast of the Skelligs in County Kerry.
Tune in next Tuesday!
