  • Opportunities in Equine at Enniskillen Campus

    Date published: 24 February 2025

    The College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) Enniskillen Campus held an Opportunities in Equine Careers Fair as part of the annual Careers Day.

    Susan Spratt from British Horse Society Ireland talks to Rachel Ballantine (Bangor) who is studying on the second year of the Foundation Degree in Equine Management course at Enniskillen Campus.

    Each year staff at Enniskillen Campus organise a Careers Day to help students prepare for their future in the equine industry. The Careers Fair offered businesses interested in promoting work placements or graduate employment the chance to engage directly with CAFRE students.  Students connected with company representatives to find out more about potential job opportunities and career paths available.

    Event organiser Gayle Moane, Equine Lecturer, CAFRE commented, "Our goal with Careers Day is to enhance students' employability skills by promoting interaction with businesses, helping them to transition into jobs within the equine industry”.

    Co-organiser Chris Bogues, Equine Lecturer, CAFRE added: “We were delighted to have over 30 organisations present.  Equine students at CAFRE benefit from the excellent support which we receive from the industry locally, across the Island and wider afield.”

    Equine businesses and organisations from near and far enjoyed the buzz of the afternoon, while students gleaned knowledge and insights into the wide variety of equine industry career options.

    If you are interested in studying for a qualification in Equine this September, book now to attend our next Open Day on Saturday, 29 March at Enniskillen Campus. Visit the CAFRE website for more information.
