Innopharma Education is passionate about our students gaining a qualification with our college and equally passionate about assisting our graduates in securing employment post-qualification, which is one of our unique selling points.  

A very experienced and specialist Transition to Industry team is in place for International students to assist in transitioning into industry roles once they have successfully completed their programme. This team have many years of industry experience in the growing and buoyant biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, medical device and food sectors. This team uses their expertise and established industry relationships built over many years with employers and recruitment agencies to support our students. 

The Innopharma Way

Using an established methodology called ‘The Innopharma Way, ’ the team's extensive experience is now being utilised for the benefit of our International students. Job searching and interview processes differ from country to country and from sector to sector. It is, therefore, critically important that our graduates become familiar with and are prepared to participate in and compete for jobs in the Irish job market.  

Our comprehensive tools, techniques and processes are designed to provide maximum support broken into 3 important steps – one in each Semester.  Completion of a Skills Audit in Semester 1, which assists the team in matching individual skills with opportunities post qualification. Building a fit-for-purpose CV for job searching in Ireland in Semester 2. Preparation for competency-based interviews in Semester 3.   Once the student has successfully completed their programme – one-to-one sessions are then scheduled with industry-experienced Career Coaches.  Students must conduct each step to ensure they get the most value from their one-to-one meeting with their Career Coach.  
 

In addition to ‘The Innopharma Way’ 3-step programme – the Industry transition team provides weekly support with Interview preparation sessions run twice a week, a weekly career clinic, career opportunities advertised on Innopharma’s Career Hub and extra supplementary industry-related modules available free of charge to International students. Participation and Engagement with the Transition to Industry team from Semester 1 is strongly encouraged.
