The Internship Programme was initiated to develop concrete linkages with industry. The programme provide interns with the opportunity to gain expertise in industry.

The internship programme fills a gap in the employment marketplace for the financial services sector in Ireland. The internship provides an opportunity for knowledge transfer from the cluster and its supported infrastructure directly to Irish industry.

The mentor company benefits as they gain access to knowledge transfer in addition to excellent graduates for a pre-agreed time period. They can then evaluate whether they wish to recruit the interns on a longer term basis.

Internships are typically 10-12 weeks in duration. These dates are negotiable and there is flexibility if the company has a preference for an extended duration.
