Ireland has started building again, and not just buildings. Key sectors include industrial products and services, aerospace, automotive and clean tech. Not only is there a demand for engineering services within Ireland, but Irish engineering firms export 4.2 billion in exports annually.

There is a drive in Ireland to encourage young people in primary and secondary education to choose STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as there is a serious need for quality STEM graduates, in particular engineers.

Many of the key global players in engineering have long established bases in Ireland, but there is a healthy cohort of smaller indigenous firms all over the country. You will be working with and learning from very high-calibre employers who need and value your input. Not all sectors can offer remote work, but the ones who do have specific projects in mind for you and will need you to be on your best game to complete their projects to a very high standard.

Opportunities are currently only available in Ireland.

"Though being in Ireland would've been a unique experience, I feel as though this remote internship was unique in itself. It gave me the chance to prove to myself that I can overcome learning curves, and I can do so without needing to rely on my peers. I always enjoyed working in groups and that is something I often do at school, but after this I can say that I trust myself as an individual to be successful."

"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."

"Our engagement with Learn International and its internship programme has been exceptionally positive and rewarding. Learn International's thorough planning and organisation prior to internship commencement made the whole internship process a very valuable one for our company, and their organisation and experience in dealing with international students and multi-national internships shone through."
