Brian O’ Donoghue, Director - AML, FinCrime, Risk, Governance, Regulatory @ Grant Thornton Ireland

Brian tells us about some brilliant, but well hidden, government funded upskilling programmes particularly in his own fintech area. He found his course by chance but is now spreading the love, and knowledge about them, on That Great Business Show.

Like so many, Brian was not a university graduate and despite his experience he was turned down flat for some jobs. He explains how he navigated his way around that deficit and why employers, should or must, recognise 'on the job training, or apprenticeship training as it used to be called, if those employers want to find the best talent.

Megan Clark Torrey is CEO of The World Affairs Council of Connecticut, a non-profit, nonpartisan organisation that promotes greater awareness and dialogue on important global issues, including business. This model has not been replicated in Ireland, so it might be an opportunity for one of our loyal listeners?
