David said: ‘My experience on the Jameson International Graduate Programme has been incredible. When I graduated from Dublin Institute of Technology with my degree in Drama and Performance I never thought I would find myself living in Bangkok and working for such an amazing company that is Jameson. After graduating from college, I worked as a professional actor and set up my own drama school ‘ Tir na nOg Drama & Performance’ in Drogheda while at the same time worked in sales and marketing in a leading waterpark.
He said the Jameson Graduate Programme gives you the freedom to explore what you’re good at and find your niche and added this has allowed him to be able to comine his skills from both drama and marketing in his new role. Online applications are now open at www.jamesongraduateprogramme. com and close at 1pm Wednesday, January 17th 2018.
