As an introduction,
let's look at who the main stakeholders
are in the Ibec Global Graduates program.
Ibec is the largest business and
lobbying organisation in Ireland.
In 1983, the program was
established by Ibec in Ireland and
originally called
the Export Orientation Program.
TU Dublin deliver the academic
elements of the programme.
Technological University Dublin

changed its name in January
of 2019 to TU Dublin.

The Ibec Global Graduates programme,
or IGG,
connects the best companies with
the best and brightest graduates.
There are hundreds of students currently
in stream on the Ibec Global Graduates
programme.
They're carrying out company
placements all around the world.
The main goal of the programme is to
build leadership capability amongst
its participants, where both
the student graduate on placement and
the sponsor company benefit.
