ICOS Skillnet has partnered with University College Cork to bring the industry this diploma course which will now be commencing in September 2015.

The Diploma in Corporate Direction (Food Business) is a Management Development Programme for co-operative board members and senior management. This innovative Programme is designed to address the special needs of co-operative board members and senior management in a rapidly changing agri business environment.

The key aim of the programme is to improve the capabilities of directors and senior management in positively influencing the strategic direction and corporate governance of food companies in Ireland. Participants will build on existing skills and develop new management capabilities in a highly interactive learning environment stimulated by academics and industry practitioners.

New dates will be finalised soon and will be sent out to all key stakeholders in the coming weeks.

There still a few places remaining, so it is not too late to book.

To Book your place or places for some of your board members or if you just need more information please contact Breeda Flood or Billy Goodburn on 01 6131348.
