Arcadia Ireland

Joe Dwyer, Internship Programme Manager in our London Centre, and myself presented at the the Global Internship Conference, held at University College Dublin (UCD) from 9-11 June. Our presentation topic was entitled: ‘Telling the Irish Internship Story: Supporting Students in Articulating the International Internship Experience'.

We spoke to a packed and boisterous lecture hall and we entertained questions on the academic assessment of Arcadia internships, on-site supports for students and the placement selection selection process used by Arcadia.

Our main theme was how we assist students in articulating their international internship experience with INPR 310 and on-site supports. The conference was attended by 420 people, mostly from career advisory and study abroad offices in the USA.

This was a fabulous opportunity to showcase Arcadia's internship model to an engaged and focused group of international educators.
