WORKING AS A FLORIST
At a job interview students must be prepared to make an Arrangement, Hand Tied Bouquet and a Sympathy Tribute. A florist work tends to be seasonal. The quietest time is in the summer when work mainly stems from Weddings and Funerals. October until Easter is the busiest time, these Months include Christmas, St Valentines Day, Mothers Day and Easter. Every small town in Ireland has a Florist, so this is a good time to look for work, The rest of the year ticks along with Weddings, Births, Anniversaries, Birthdays, and Funerals.
Many trained and experienced florist go on to set up their own shop. We recommend students to have good practical shop experience before contemplating opening up their own Florist Shop.
On completion of modules 1,2,3, we have been very successful in placing our students on work experience in florist shops or as job opportunities arise we send suitable students forward for an interview. Many of our past students are now working in Florist Shops or working from home on a commercial basis. We have numerous students who first trained in Dublin at Kay’s eventually opened their own Florist Shops or are working in Florist shops throughout Ireland.
