Career Profile
Name: Denise Callanan
Address: Monaseterevin, Co Kildare
Completed course: 2009
Course
I joined this course to gain experience and knowledge in the stud industry. I felt that I was too young at 17 to go out to work and I wanted to meet people with the same interests as myself.
Practical Training Period
I will be returning to Kildalton to finish my Level 6. I have interviews set up for some of the well established studs in Ireland to do the stud practical training part of the course. I am really looking forward to this and I feel after the year in Kildalton I am well equipped to go out into the industry.
Future Plans
When I have finished my Level 6 I will go home to ultimately take over the stud from my father. I feel that I needed to gain knowledge and experience away from home and may decide to travel in order to develop. My father has backed me and realises the you need to broaden your horizons to be a successful stud manager.
