“I make myself a schedule and stick to it!” he laughs. “It doesn’t take away from my studies — if anything, it helps me develop soft skills like leadership, organisation and teamwork.”

23-year-old Al-manniu Ariyo from Dundalk is a second-year Business and Technology student at DkIT. He chose the course because it combines his passion for IT with his creative drive. Aspiring to one day start his own business, Al-manniu felt the mix of business and technology was an ideal foundation for his future ambitions. The college’s strong graduate employment rate and its proximity to home also made DkIT the perfect fit. 

Beyond his studies, Al-manniu is the Chairman of DkIT’s African & Caribbean Society, a cultural group that celebrates the rich and diverse heritage of Afro-Caribbean communities both within DkIT and across Ireland. 

Looking to the future, Al-manniu hopes to build a career in digital marketing before launching his own business. The skills he’s gained from leading the Afro-Caribbean Society — planning, coordination and teamwork — will no doubt serve him well.
