Employer Testimonials

-- Ciaran Harvey, Pramerica

Pramerica and the Letterkenny Institute of Technology have a long-standing relationship that has evolved since 2000 when Pramerica set up in Letterkenny. Since then, LYIT has been an invaluable partner in helping us find talented, highly qualified candidates for technology and business services positions at Pramerica. LYIT has been to the forefront in developing our skill requirements and has adjusted its curriculum to ensure that its students have the appropriate technical and business skills, knowledge and the mindset needed for a global financial services organisation such as Pramerica. I deeply appreciate the collaborative and the innovative partnership that has developed particularly over the past number of years. Our employee growth and evolution of our service portfolio is testament to our strong partnership with LYIT. I look forward to continuing to work closely with LYIT as it builds a pipeline of talent suitable for our workforce of the future.
