Our programmes are crafted to meet the needs of international students who want authentic English language experience abroad and the confidence to use English in business environments.
Alongside professional language training, participants also develop conversational English in fun, social, and relaxed settings — ensuring a balance between academic learning and cultural immersion.
Since 2009, Internship Experience Ireland (IE) has successfully hosted students from Austria, Italy, Poland, France, Greece, Finland, and Norway, delivering impactful experiences that unite language acquisition with personal growth.
As a trusted Irish Erasmus+ partner, we have collaborated on numerous projects, reinforcing our reputation for quality, compliance, and international engagement.
Internship Experience Ireland (IE) offers student groups the chance to sharpen their Business English through a structured Work Experience Programme that blends language learning with practical international placements.
This programme is ideal for students seeking an internship, work experience, work placement, or Erasmus+ mobility in Ireland. Each participant’s studies and skills are carefully matched with a relevant Irish company, aligned with Erasmus, PON, and Movetia objectives.
Voluntary Work Placements usually run for 2–4 weeks, while Internships extend from 4–12 weeks. Both give students the chance to gain international business experience, strengthen English language proficiency, and develop essential life skills. Participants stay with Irish host families, join social and cultural activities, and immerse themselves in authentic Irish workplaces. The programme is best suited to teenagers aged 17+ on arrival in Ireland, with placements available across diverse sectors.
Each Voluntary Work Placement and Internship Programme is built around five pillars:
A free 45‑hour e‑Learning preparation package before arrival in Ireland
Airport transfers for smooth travel
A tailored work placement or internship in a relevant Irish company
Host family accommodation for the full stay
Weekly IE social nights, access to local events, and organised cultural tours
Placements run Monday to Friday, with cultural tours every second weekend and mid‑week social evenings. Students can choose from a wide range of work environments, ensuring placements are both relevant and rewarding. LXI does not simply deliver English learning programmes — we provide a truly Irish experience, helping students learn English naturally while enjoying cultural immersion.
Participants are encouraged to immerse themselves in Irish workplaces, live with host families, and refine their “ear” for English through our pre‑ and post‑programme e‑Learning packages. For further details, contact our Managing Director at training@confurey.ie and book your 2‑, 3‑, or 4‑week placement in Ireland.
