Alina Kvinna | BBS Graduate 2017
My journey at Shannon College started in 2012 when I moved to Ireland - a country I had never been to. It can feel daunting at the beginning as everything is new. In addition, I started my practical lessons in the kitchen which added an extra level of difficulty as my native language is not English. But all of that seems very much worth it now. The welcoming staff, international environment, competitions, charities, events - there are so many added bonuses to studying at Shannon including becoming part of the global family. After graduating I have worked within the hotel industry in London and Limerick whilst also completing my Masters in International Entrepreneurship. Now I have changed the industry slightly - to aviation, so similar but yet so different. I work within the HR department and the foundations from Shannon College have helped me to get where I am now.in Connect with Alina
Conor Dwan | BBS Graduate 2023
Having grown up in my grandparent's family business from a young age, customer service and satisfaction is all I’ve ever known. After completing my TY work experience in the Horse & Jockey Hotel in Tipperary, I knew hospitality was the road for me. From the guidance of Katie Murphy who at the time was a third-year student in Shannon and having heard her stories and the “Shannon Family” ethos I knew this was the place for me.From completing my year 2 placement in The Sheraton in Brussels by Marriott, to Dress Dance and even dressing up with Suzanne Kennedy for a Lip Sync Battle, my time in Shannon has been filled with nothing both positive, fun, and memorial times. The mix of practical and theoretical subjects helps you develop both personally and professionally. I graduated from Shannon College March of this year, after completing my final year placement in my hometown of Cashel in the newly renovated Cashel Palace Hotel as a trainee Duty Manager. Since graduating I have been promoted to my current role as Guest Experience Manager.in Connect with Conor

Shannon is not only a college that offers you a high level of hospitality training but so much life experience from a wide range of different modules. From business modules to international professional work placements. The mix of business and practical modules develop your soft skills. The level 8 business degree qualification allows you to delve into so many different career paths later in life. It truly rounds you as a professional in the industry. Shannon gave me an incredible circle of lifelong friends and opened the doors to a wider of the network of Shannon alumni all over the globe. Shannon is much more than just a college, it’s a family. Shannon allowed me to be me, and being someone with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, I never thought I could achieve what I have achieved today. The tremendous number of services and support, along with a very open approach to learning, have pushed me to achieve my best. Shannon embraces every student and their uniqueness, bringing out the best in all of us.in Connect with Olivia
