Internship in Dublin – Fall

Why Dublin?

Ireland’s capital city has fast become a dynamic hub for international education and business. With approximately half the population under the age of 25 this young, vibrant city has plenty to offer for your Intern Abroad experience. Many multinational companies have chosen Dublin for their European headquarters as well as being a city known for successful home-grown start up companies. The cultural and social offerings across the city also make it a great place to spend your time abroad.

Internship

The expert team of advisors at EZC Study Abroad will work with you to clearly define your objectives for your internship. The internship can be based on your chosen field of study but can also be in a different field if you wish to explore this.

EZC Study Abroad has a number of regular host companies that we work with on an ongoing basis and we also source new host companies based on a student’s requirements.

An EZC Study Abroad advisor on the ground in Ireland will hold regular meetings with you to obtain feedback on your internship progress. Meetings will also be held with your supervisor at the host company.

This is a non-credit based internship but credit may be applied by speaking to your home institution beforehand.

All interns will participate in the International Work Culture Seminars. Designed to help students succeed in their internship but also prepare for their future career, seminar topics will vary and cover soft skills, employer hiring practices, improving professional communication skills, building a professional social media profile, and adapting to work environments. Guest speakers and career-focused field trips and activities will be an important part of the experience. Some of our seminars include:

  • Introduction to Working Culture in Ireland
  • Intercultural Communication in the Workplace
  • How to present your Intern Abroad experience to prospective employers
  • Social Media & Me – How your online footprint can impact your future career

Housing

Your social and residential experience abroad is just as important as your internship. We understand that to make the most of your short time in residence it is important that you take every opportunity to meet and live with others, we will encourage you to integrate with other international and Irish students and interns.

As an EZC Student you have the option to live in self-catering house-share accommodation or student residences operated by our sister company EazyCity. We have several properties in Dublin and you will share with other Irish and international students and interns.
