Subsidised Training
Project Management Professional
 

November 29th - €460 for Chamber Members!


The Project Management course is designed to be practical and help people apply the knowledge to the workplace. The course uses PMBOK Guide Version 5 as its reference and so helps prepare people for PMI certification.


The trainers are expert on multiple project management systems so if a specific company has questions on practical application of theory they are able to answer and give examples of how these systems are used in real life.


A soft copy of tools and PMBOK-compliant templates that participants can take away and use when they are back in the workplace are provided.


Reserve your place here!



Mobile Marketing Workshop
 

November 24th - €140 for Chamber Members!

This workshop intends to show people the current state-of-play on online media usage, including how search engines like Google treat websites on mobile searches.


This workshop will give you the tools to see if your customers are mainly mobile or still using desktop computers and to adapt your website and change how you appear in search results.


This workshop will also show you the work involved in creating and marketing apps and show you how WhatsApp, Instagram and even Snapchat can help your business.


Reserve your place here!

Last year, WheyHey ice cream sold more than 1million pots in Europe and is set to sell 4 million this year and double again in 2017.  WheyHey is already selling fast in the Middle East and due to export into Australia this year, with fans including Richard Branson (who awarded the product Virgin Pioneer status) One Direction and many more.

Damien Kennedy is a native of Cork City and his entrepreneurial journey began in 2010 when he first purchased a homemade icecream on eBay.  Since then, Damien and his business partner Greg Duggan have launched WheyHey, a high-protein, sugar free ice cream.


Damien will talk to Cork Chamber members about his incredible journey, the scaling up of his brand and the future for WheyHey in Europe and the US over the next few years.
