Indian Ocean to Killarney Lakes
The team at The Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney, has welcomed students from Réunion Island as part of an MTU Erasmus work placement programme.
The students, from the Lycée Hôtelier Christian Antou hospitality school on the French island in the Indian Ocean, are undertaking a four-week placement across hotel departments, including housekeeping, food and beverage service, and kitchen operations. More students will arrive in April for traineeships in Dingle, Sneem, Kinsale, and Killarney.
Eilis Loughrey, Director of People and Culture, said:
“We are delighted to welcome these talented students to our diverse and dynamic workforce. We hope this partnership will provide them with valuable industry experience while also giving our team the opportunity to gain fresh insights and perspectives.”
TJ O’Connor, Senior Lecturer at MTU, said: “This initiative fosters international collaboration and provides valuable industry experience for the next generation of hospitality professionals.”
