Richie CumminsFlag Taxis

"The All-Ireland Business Foundation are delighted to work with Covid-Interns to offer very valuable work placements to well qualified graduates who found themselves entering the labour force at a very challenging time. We were very impressed by the overall initiative and delighted to take onboard two interns who have the skills and attributes needed to be part of our team and add value as well – all while working remotely. Most of all, they come with a great attitude and desire to learn. I was so impressed with the initiative that I’ve referred several businesses to the initiative. Well done to all involved!!!"
