1. Graduating Class 2019-2024

We were delighted to welcome the Aaaron Mansworth (Patron and Managing director of Trigon Hotels) Graduating class on campus on March 7th to celebrate their incredible achievements.

We are proud to see them enter the world of Hospitality management as well as become members of the IHI and Shannon Alumni. We look forward to seeing them achieve their greatest aspirations as they embark on their next journeys around the Globe!

2. Hospitality Skills Development Course

On Saturday 11^th May 2024, we welcomed students from across the country to join us on our Shannon Campus to discover more about the hospitality industry. The students got to experience the world of Front office and guest relations, accommodation services to include towel art and floral arrangements, they cooked their hearts out with our culinary team and learned the art of the barista, making coffees in our restaurant. The students gathered to learn about skills for work life, brand awareness and competed in team building competitions. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of these students and look forward to seeing them explore the industry and potentially become students of Shannon College of Hotel Management in the future. Thank you to Fáilte Ireland for sponsoring fabulous Tote bags and goodies for our event.

We were so delighted to welcome this semesters group of IISMAVO Indonesian students on their study abroad programme. The 12 students joined our current year 1 UnderGraduate students in their practical and theory classes as well as fully immersing themselves in the Irish culture, visiting the surrounding towns and cities, and learning the true meaning of Irish Hospitality!
