Visiting the Guinness storehouse during a consulting internship in Ireland

Consulting Internships in Ireland

Dublin has developed into one of Europe's most internationally connected business hubs, bringing together multinational companies, professional services firms, technology companies and a growing network of specialist consultancies.

Ireland's position as a gateway between the US and European markets has created a consulting industry with a distinctly international focus. Dublin-based consultants work with companies navigating everything from European expansion and digital transformation to financial services, technology, operations and organizational change. For interns, that can mean exposure to projects shaped by clients operating across multiple markets rather than within a single national economy.

Whether you're a university student, recent graduate, gap year student or career changer, our consulting internship program in Dublin can help you build practical experience within one of Europe's most internationally focused business environments.

"My favorite thing about the whole internship was that The Intern Group was always providing us with events. Not only could you get to know people and have fun at the events, but you could also meet new people and keep making friends. For me, it was really important to have people to go out with and share the experience with." - Pedro Borin, intern in Dublin

"One of the biggest challenges I probably faced during my internship was assimilating into the work environment. It was one of my first jobs, and the other interns I worked with, as well as my employers, were really helpful in helping me get settled in. The Intern Group was also always there to help, with support available 24/7. The advice I would give to future interns coming onto this program is to definitely immerse yourself in the culture, the work experience, and all the opportunities that The Intern Group offers. You get to network with a lot of bright minds who could be the future leaders of the world, and this is an experience that you will cherish forever." - Timothy Thirukkumar, Dublin intern
