“Having graduated from SCFE, I got my first interview as a Passenger Services agent job with Swissport through SCFE and after 2 years there I applied for a Cabin Crew job in Aer Lingus. My two years in Sallynoggin College were very special to me and the teachers were extremely helpful and invested in making sure that we were well prepared for whatever path you wanted to follow after graduation.”
