Internship in Ireland (also traineeship, or secondment) is often necessary
to complete degrees for a student who wants to highlight their skills and get
a first experience at work! To seek an internship abroad is also a unique experience,
in terms of language as well as for learning a new culture.
The obvious method of finding a secondment abroad is to contact companies with
international subsidiaries and which can send you abroad for an internship directly
from your country. Some large international companies organise selections with
tests and interviews to recruit interns.
