Internships in Ireland

"During my program in Ireland, I got to learn much more about my industry and the professional work environment, while also getting to explore the incredible culture and landscape of the country. I'm really thankful for the opportunity to live in Dublin and experience a different way of life from my own, I know that I am different because of it."

"I wish I could stay and continue. I wouldn’t change anything about the experience I’ve had. It was everything that I had hoped for."

"My internship with Learn International has truly been the most memorable and wonderful opportunity of my entire life. Through first-hand experience I have seen and learned so much about my dream career. I've met and worked for/with brilliant people who share the same passions as me. My placements were a perfect fit for me — both the internship placement and my homestay placement seemed perfectly tailored to me and what I wanted to get out of this experience. The staff at Learn International are exceptional — they took the time to get to know me and my ideal internship experience and they matched me with a perfect placement. I could not have asked for a better experience — the people I met, experiences I had, and the things I learned will be memories I will never forget. I would do it all again if I could!"

"If you have the opportunity to complete your first or second internship abroad, I highly recommend! I truly feel like I made an impact at my company through the projects I completed during my internship. My 8-week internship in Ireland was my first time leaving the US… I had a fantastic time exploring the country and learning about its culture and history along the way."

"Great experience, met tons of new people and got to see so much of Dublin and Ireland during my stay. Learned how to be more flexible and independent in a new country!"

"It is a difficult time to be a young adult. To be making your tentative first step into the turbulent job market was daunting enough, without an unprecedented global pandemic. Confronted by such circumstances, it’s easy to lose ambition. To feel discouraged, if not downright dissuaded to search for career opportunities.

However, by taking the leap that I did applying to Learn International’s internship program, you will learn that you are not alone – that you will be embraced into a support network more than adequately prepared to meet the challenges faced by an ever-changing world. I can say this because I applied at the beginning of the pandemic. While the world came to a grinding halt, Michelle at Learn International soldiered on – maintaining the company’s initial promise to deliver a quality, in-person internship as a pathway into the job market. I am happy to say they have delivered, as I write 2 years after the fact.

To observe their tenacity when the chips were down should be as good an indicator as any that you will be in capable hands. If they did not give up helping me achieve my ambitions, they will surely not give up on yours."

"I went on the Dublin Internship Program in the summer and it was the best experience of my life. Learn international did a thorough job pairing my interests and studies with a good company. At my internship I was able to learn new skills as well as hone skills from my studies in a professional work environment. The process of coming to Ireland was nerve-wracking with all the uncertainty, but Learn International held my hand through all of it. The excursions they organized for my program helped me learn a lot about Irish culture and history and were just very fun overall. The homestays helpmed me feel very immersed in the day-to-day as a Dublin citizen would. Ireland really feels like a home away from home to me now. The experiences with Learn International helped me have the confidence and knowledge to go solo travelling around Europe afterwards. This truly was the most valuable and precious time in my life so far, and it's going to be hard to top."

"You can definitely learn something new in your career field. With the great opportunity to meet a group of new friendly people, you really can learn about Irish culture through the program."

"As a business we see real value in having an intern work with us. They get some excellent experience working here, stuff that they can take away with them and use in their careers going forward."
