For employers in Ireland
Looking to add fresh talent and global perspective to your business, free of charge? Hosting a European intern could be the solution!
Students typically come to Ireland for four weeks, though placements can last several months. They are studying a range of professional courses and often possess prior experience in their field. Their aim is to deepen their understanding of Irish business practices and contribute to your organisation.
They are fully funded and insured through the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme – employers are not required to pay them a salary. The IBD Partnership Group and The Ralf Partnership manage all necessary documentation.
Benefits of hosting an international student
- Extra support for your business at no cost
- Fresh perspectives and global business experience
- Language and intercultural advantages for new market entry
