Work Placement in Ireland: A Transformative Experience

Our school's bilingual program offers a unique opportunity for students to broaden their horizons through a three-week work placement in Ireland. This immersive experience, an important part of the program, provides students with not only a chance to enhance their language skills but also hands-on exposure to the professional world.

During their stay, students are welcomed into the homes of Irish host families, fostering cultural exchange and creating lasting connections. This aspect of the program goes beyond the traditional classroom setting, allowing students to experience the day-to-day life and customs of the local community.

On weekdays, students dive into the Irish workforce as interns. The carefully curated internships span various industries, providing a diverse range of experiences from the administrative sector to the warm hospitality industry. This hands-on approach not only refines their language proficiency in a practical setting but also exposes them to the professional expectations and dynamics of an international workplace.

The combination of cultural immersion, homestay experience, and professional internships creates a holistic educational journey. This three-week stint is not just about language acquisition; it's a transformative experience that equips students with a global perspective, adaptability, and the skills necessary for success in an interconnected world. The Bilingual Program's Work Placement in Ireland continues to enrich the educational landscape for our students and prepares them for the challenges of the future.

    I have experienced a great time there. I managed to overcome cultural differences and applied my knowledge in practice at my job.
  • Selin

    Going to Ireland made me come out of my comfort zone and I now feel much more confident regarding work-placements in other countries.
  • Harishma

    I have spent 3 weeks working as a marketing assistant in Ireland and I believe that I have got an insight into what it’s like to be a part of a company, and all the responsibilities that the employees have to carry. I also had to talk to lots of new people, so I believe that I became more open-minded.
  • Selina

    I learned about new cultures and how other people live their life. It helped me learn more things about myself as I had to grow out of my comfort zone.
  • Elayda

    It helped me get more independent and responsible as I had to manage all “daily tasks” by myself. It also taught me more about different cultures, background and how different people see things differently.
  • Florian

    I learned about how other companies operate in Ireland as well as learning a new work culture. Due to that I already was in England for 6 months it was no problem for me to adapt which I would have learned if I not been to Ireland before at the age of 13.
  • Helin

    This work experience helped me to grow and to get out of your comfort zone. It helped me to understand other cultures better, it improved my adaptability and my communication skills, because I worked a lot with customers.
  • Lucia

    I learned how exhausting it is to work in a coffee shop, but I also learned through this to be more open. I got to know a new culture and learned how to adapt in a different country.
