The school proposes to young people between 18 and 28 years to benefit in Ireland from an internship in a local company. The professional experience is unpaid, but the candidate may choose the domain which interests him/her, such as adminstration or information technologies. Any person interested must have taken a minimum of 4 weeks of English classes beforehand in order to benefit from a placement of 4 to 12 weeks in a company. We recommend to you to avoid the period of July and August because the internship opportunities are more restricted.

Each Monday, you have the possibility to begin a programme which will bring you a double experience, that of practising the language on a daily basis, in the professional domain, but also the experience of the work itself, as you will have the choice to discover or experience one of the domains of activity which interests you most abroad. In order to have access to this programme, a good language level (level 6 minimum, see table) is required before the start of the internship.

The domains for carrying out an internship are varied and for this reason, it is necessary to communicate 3 centres of interest for the different sectors of activity to us in order to guarantee the internship placement. We ask you to please prepare a CV and cover letter in English, as well as to send us a copy of your eventual work references at the same time as your enrolment form.

Accommodation

Host family
The Irish are renowned for their sense of hospitality. Living with then will allow you to make rapid progress in English and to familiarise yourself with the local culture. The families are mostly situated in the south part of Dublin, just like the school. They live in residential areas, often in houses with gardens. The students stay in single rooms with half board provided.
 
Shared apartments Mercer Court
Located in the heart of Dublin, only a seven minutes’ walk away from the school, the Mercer Court Apartments are surrounded by the best theatres, museums, restaurants and bars of the city. It is a first-class location for these very comfortable apartments, which consist of four individual bedrooms, a private bathroom, a large living room and a well-equipped kitchen. There, you will be able to have lively discussions and cook meals with your flatmates. Each room has a television, internet access and a telephone receiving incoming calls. Bedlinen are provided but you need to bring your own bath towels. A laundry room is also at your disposal.

Residence "Charleston Road Apartments"
The residence proposed by our partner school is located to the south of Dublin city, in a district which is very popular with students. It will only take you 7 minutes by tram or 20 minutes by foot to reach the course centre and the heart of the city. The bedrooms are situated in a ravishing 19th century building which has been entirely renovated. The single or double bedrooms (in which case the booking must be made for the two people at the same time) all have a private bathroom, a kitchenette and a corner lounge with television. A very pleasant garden is situated behind the building and there are parking spaces for cars and bicycles. Bedlinen is provided, but not bath towels.
