Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year©
Twenty-four graduates will have an opportunity to make their mark in the world of business – when they are awarded internships with the finalists of this year’s Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year©. It is a competition and open to all graduates, including third-level students now starting their final year – and looking for some never-to-be-repeated high-end job experience!
Candidates can apply through the new-look Entrepreneur Of The Year website,www.eoy.tv, where they will find profiles of each of the entrepreneurs and sound bites outlining exactly the qualities they’re looking for in their individual interns.
But the most in-depth way of choosing an entrepreneur is to follow the series of three weekly programmes profiling the Entrepreneur Of The Year finalists, the first of which is screened on RTE One on Friday, October 1, at 7.30pm
Having done their research into the entrepreneurs, the intern candidates must then select just one entrepreneur as the person they would most like to work with and learn from – submitting a CV online, along with a 300-500-word pitch outlining the value they feel they would add to that entrepreneur’s business.
The internships are being offered for a minimum period of three months, and will give the budding business people a rare glimpse into the working lives of an entrepreneur – and a chance to impress them enough to be kept on.
Follow us on facebook www.facebook.com/EOYIreland and Twitterwww.twitter.com/EOYIreland to learn more.
The closing date for applications for the internships is Friday, November 19th
Thank you for taking the time to read about our initiative.
