In the last decade, we have had the pleasure of partnering with local host families. Our company, Career Training Internships, has been in this business for over a decade. Hundreds of host families partner with our firm, fully experienced and just beginners. We build strong relationships with our partners and give a chance to our interns to have a second family in Ireland, thousand miles away from their homes.

Apart from extra earning potential, you give a chance to an exchange intern to embrace Irish culture.
