Program Overview
Internship (EU Only)
Gain Hands-On Work Experience in Dublin
Our internship programme is ideal for students looking to enhance their career prospects by gaining valuable experience for their CV. This programme guarantees an internship lasting between 2 weeks and 6 months, offering real, hands-on work experience to participants.
International House Dublin collaborates with partner organisations specialized in recruitment to provide participants with internship placements at both entry-level and professional level.
The programme requires an up-to-date CV/Resume and Cover Letter in English and offers placements that match students’ education, training, and career goals. We require eight weeks’ notice before the internship starts, and placement availability may vary by sector. Work schedules, determined by the host company, may include weekends and evenings. Students should indicate three areas of interest for their internships, considering their future career paths.
The internship placement will be in the greater Dublin area. Both professional and entry-level internships include a dedicated internship advisor providing comprehensive support throughout the internship, a booklet with detailed company information, and a certificate upon completion. Additionally, you can add on three one-on-one coaching calls with your internship advisor – one before, one during, and one after the internship.
