Musgrave MarketPlace, the only 100% Irish-owned national foodservice, retail, and SME wholesaler and part of the wider Musgrave Group, has announced an expansion of its scholarship programme with Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin).
As part of its ongoing commitment to the Irish food and hospitality industry, Musgrave MarketPlace will be supporting more students financially through three-year scholarships alongside providing access to industry mentors and events.
Scholarship programme
The enhanced scholarship programme follows an investment of more than €350k in the creation of a state-of-the-art student training restaurant at the university’s Grangegorman campus.
“Across the Musgrave Group, we have a long and proud heritage in food across the island of Ireland and believe in prioritising investment in Ireland’s Future Food Leaders,” said Desi Derby, director of marketing, Musgrave MarketPlace.
The Musgrave MarketPlace mentors will be on hand to provide industry and business guidance to students to help broaden their knowledge and expertise while there will be networking opportunities at industry and in-branch events.
Supporting students
Derby noted that Musgrave MarketPlace wants to ensure it is doing all it can to help support these students as they look to develop and grow within the industry.
As Ireland’s leading centre of education and innovation for the Food, Drink & Hospitality Sector, TU Dublin is a driving force behind Ireland’s culinary renaissance, training many of Ireland’s leading chefs, food innovators, hoteliers and entrepreneurs.
“TU Dublin graduates already excel in food related sectors in Ireland and across the world, and the mentorship and financial support provided by the scholarships will provide life changing opportunities for more of our students to reach even higher and go further,” said Dr. Denise O’Leary, head of school of culinary arts and food technology, TU Dublin.
