Description

Program description

With this study and work program, the goal is to help you access the job market in Ireland through English courses and admin support.

As part of the Study and Work program, participants complete at least 4 weeks of English classes before starting work. The required number of weeks is assessed during a pre-registration interview.

 

Alternate English classes and work

For the work-study program, you will take English classes while working part-time for 12 to 24 weeks, with the opportunity to truly progress and immerse yourself in the country.

The first three weeks are solely dedicated to English classes. Afterwards, you can begin your job search while continuing your classes. Once you start working, you will alternate English classes and part time work. English classes are scheduled from 9:00 to 12:15, which leaves the afternoon for a part time job.

 

Work in Ireland

For the placement program for a paid job, you also have a minimum of 3 weeks of English classes before you can start working. The duration may vary depending on your level of English to ensure you can confidently enter the job market.

You will work approximately 15 to 20 hours per week for a minimum of 12 weeks, or 6 weeks minimum in summer.

 

English courses

The English courses are designed to support your integration into the Irish professional environment.

Workshops are organized to help you in your job search and adapt to the country’s requirements, such as preparing your CV, writing a cover letter, or conducting an interview.

Project information

Your accommodation

Housing is allocated by local NGOs, not by Freepackers - the descriptions are there to give you an idea of the type of accommodation, as it is very likely that conditions will vary on site depending on the number of volunteers, weather conditions, availability, etc. Each volunteer will be accommodated according to the stated conditions, but it is possible that the accommodation may not match the description or images shown on this site word for word, for example, in the case of annexed housing, renovations, relocations, etc.

Accommodation for 4 weeks in a homestay with half board is included in the program.

You will be welcomed by a host family accustomed to receiving international students. Single or shared rooms with a bathroom are available. Most families are located 50–70 minutes from the school in the city centre.

Student residence accommodation is possible between June and August for an additional €250 per month. Please contact us to know more about this option.

Meals​

Meals are included in the homestay accommodation on a half-board basis.
