I completed my MSc Business Management in Smurfit in 2020. I always had an interest in business and in the Irish healthcare industry, so I saw the Vhi Graduate Programme as the perfect fit.

The programme afforded me the opportunity to work in a number of areas within the business, learning and developing a varied set of skills along the way. My preferred area was Finance, and I discovered that the CFP&A team was aligned with my longer term career aspirations. 

During my rotation, I presented to the Executive Management Team, which provided useful learnings and an experience that I am really proud of. The team/department gave me space to learn and encouraged me to continue further studies. As a result, I am now undertaking my CIMA qualification.

I joined the Graduate Programme - Tech Stream in Vhi in October 2020. I had just completed my Masters in Data Analytics when I applied for the role. I knew it would be a great start to my career in IT, helping me develop a strong foundation to build my career on.

Initially, I worked as a developer on the content management platform where I received continuous guidance and support. I felt valued, which helped me gain confidence in my new role. Within a couple of months, I knew there were opportunities for me to progress my career and fulfil my potential.

Since completing the programme, I have progressed further, continuing to build my experience and I currently work as a Business Analyst. The people at Vhi truly ‘Lead With Heart’ and the relationships I have gained to date, on my journey, have been very fulfilling.

I studied a Bachelor of Business Studies (Management) in Maynooth University and graduated in 2020. I decided to go straight into a MSc in Human Resource Management in UL.

The Vhi Graduate Programme is helping me to develop a greater knowledge of different areas in business and gain a broad skillset. As part of my first rotation, I have worked on the launch of new critical healthcare software, where doctors and clinicians can access resources to help them with their daily work life and access patient education – which really brings to life the value I can add to the business.

I enjoy working in Vhi on exciting projects and celebrating successes within my team, which really bring to life how ‘Together We Do Our Best Work’!
