Can’t Choose Between Study & Travel?

Our personal adventures, love for experiential learning, friends and family have guided us throughout this journey in creating this dynamic organisation. Like our amazing Learn International family, we both are fueled with the desire to enable students of all backgrounds to learn abroad, and not only see life for what it “could” be, but for what it truly is.

"I was seeking an Internship abroad,to enhance my CV and discover a new country, but then due to the pandemic, I decided to opt for a Virtual Internship. I worked from home in Italy, but with Learn International it was like being in Ireland, thanks to all the cultural tips received! I really enjoyed this experience, it was also challenging and professional. I had the opportunity to work in a friendly and flexible context, and I feel to have learned a lot. I can't wait to go to Ireland in person to meet the Learn International team!"

"This experience definitely challenged me in new ways that pushed me to grow, and for that I am grateful. Their lovely staff made the transition to virtual work smooth and simple. This program truly prepares you for what is to come."

Loren, University of PennsylvaniaLogistics intern, 2021

"I think that Virtual Internships through Learn International are a fantastic way to engage with and learn about the working culture of other countries. Beyond solely employment, these internships provide one with an excellent way to learn more about a country and greatly expand one's cultural awareness."

Luke, University of PennsylvaniaPolitical Science Intern, 2021

"I think that if anyone has the opportunity to participate in one of these programs they should. I never thought that I would be able to intern for a company in a different country and learn so much from it, but Learn International made the entire experience easy and supported me throughout.

[The Culture Series Newsletters] were a fun way to learn facts about Ireland since I couldn't go physically this summer. I also liked how there were links to other content like YouTube videos and articles that made it more interesting to learn about different things."

Andrea, University of FloridaMechanical Engineering major, 2020

"June 2nd-August 10th 2019. 71 days I will have spent in Ireland. In those 71 days my life has changed in more ways than I could have ever imagined. An experience like this has helped me grow on a professional level and a personal one….They say studying and living abroad can change you, I feel changed and I would like to say it is for the better."

“As my internship continues I get handed more and more projects. It always feels good getting more responsibility but you have to learn how to divide your time or designate days of the week for specific projects. Learning how to prioritize and organize is a key skill when working in an office setting or in any type of job really. Another skill I am learning here is how to make a grand cup of tea!”

Student AND STAFF Stories

Streetwalking on a Dublin Night

“In some way, I’d like to think a lone walk through the city streets may be analogized to the pinball freely exploring the interior of the chamber, free from the careening shunts of the levers and absent all the flashing lights.”

Stargazing

“Leaving the foggy cobbled streets for the empty quiet of the freeways, I felt affirmed by the fact that here we were, up and at ‘em early before anyone else. It’s like a game of dominoes – you nail the first push and the rest of the pieces fall seamlessly. In line with this metaphor, awaking on time and being the first to arrive on set portends a day of good old fashioned hard work.”

Fighting the Tide

“Imagine your mind is a great ocean in which the crest and troughs of waves, representing fleeting thoughts, swell in and out of existence. It is your choice, should you choose to ride a particular wave, whether you will fight against it and in so doing expend your precious energy or whether you will simply let it carry you until it gently dissipates.”

The Long Room

“My prior impression of library hallways is that they are typically flooded with sterile white light. The Long Room instead relies quite heavily on natural light, which casts itself more carefully across the 65-meter-long hall.”
