An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, TD, visited CMS Peripherals at its headquarters in Kiltimagh, County Mayo, to announce the creation of 20 new jobs which are part of its Graduate Academy programme.
The Graduate Academy gives graduates an immediate career path in the data storage industry. The first induction began on 1 August 2012 with 10 entrants who received a six week intensive storage industry training course. The initiative is supported by Enterprise Ireland.
"Investment in specialised training is critical for the economy," said an Taoiseach. "Companies like CMS have reached a level of excellence in their industry and I support their Graduate Academy to drive further employment and exports. It is initiatives like this that will contribute greatly to the economic recovery that we are all working towards."
"This initiative is aimed at supporting the growing number of resellers we serve," said Frank Salmon, founder and group MD, CMS Peripherals. "It is our plan to recruit our next wave of 10 graduates early next year. We are delighted to have an Taoiseach visit our office to launch the program and address our employees and a number of key partners."
"Enterprise Ireland’s strategy is to promote the development of innovative Irish companies and to support their growth to achieve strong positions in Ireland and abroad," said Pat O’Grady, senior business development adviser, Enterprise Ireland. "CMS is an example of such a company and we are delighted to support this initiative."
"We have a wealth of knowledge that we have accumulated over the past 24 years," said Michael Callaghan, MD, CMS Peripherals in Ireland, "and the Graduate Academy is the perfect platform to impart that knowledge to the graduates in the most efficient way. We are delighted that the Graduate Academy is supported by both an Taoiseach and Enterprise Ireland. We look forward to building further on this program in 2013 with the second phase of the program and the creation of 10 more roles."
