On Friday, 6 March, ByrneWallace was delighted to host the Mayo Association Networking and Mentoring workshop.
The purpose of the event was to facilitate people from Mayo on the cusp of their professional careers (college students or those with up to 5 years’ experience in a given field) to learn from, network with, and receive advice from fellow Mayo natives who are established in their careers across various industries and fields. These included accounting, law, management consultancy, public service, construction/engineering, PR/Marketing/Digital, Tech/Startup, medicine/pharma, and retail/commercial service providers.
During the event, over 100 guests, which included students (mentees) and mentors, were paired up, allowing for informal advice to be given, and contacts and networks to be established and strengthened.
With an opening address from ByrneWallace Employment Law Partner Michelle Ni Longáin and Chairman of the Mayo Association Michael Kealy, other speakers included Mark Duffy, Councillor, Mayo County Council and Nathan Murphy, Off the Ball, Newstalk who shared their career journeys and highlighted the importance of networking and making connections.
