As a leading provider of work placements for Erasmus students and interns, we are thrilled to celebrate the ongoing success of our partnerships with hundreds of outstanding companies across Ireland. Our commitment to providing enriching and professional experiences has helped countless students immerse themselves in the dynamic world of the Irish working environments

Our extensive network of host companies spans from the bustling streets of Dublin to vibrant towns across the country. We collaborate with a diverse range of retail stores, administration offices, hospitality and offering placements that allow students to gain hands-on experience in various aspects of the industry. These opportunities are not only about gaining work experience but also about immersing students in the culture and community of Ireland.

From luxury boutiques to large retail chains, our partner companies are leaders in their field, providing students with invaluable insights into customer service, sales strategies, inventory management, and more. Many of our students have thrived in these roles, building their confidence and enhancing their employability for future careers in retail and beyond.

One of our recent success stories are the latest student group for Italy who recently completed an internship at The Good Food Store, a well-known retail store in Dublin. Reflecting on their experience, our students said, “This placement has been a game-changer for me. Not only did I learn the ins and outs of retail, but I also had the chance to experience Irish culture firsthand. The support from both the company and the Erasmus program has been incredible.”

The success of our program is rooted in the strong relationships we maintain with our host companies. We ensure that each placement is carefully matched to the student’s skills, interests, and career aspirations, leading to a rewarding experience for both the student and the company.

As we continue to expand our network, we are always on the lookout for new partner companies who share our commitment to nurturing the next generation of retail professionals. If you are a retail business, company with an admin side or hospitality sector and interested in hosting an Erasmus student or intern, we would love to hear from you tunde@hfdi.ie

Together, we are not only shaping careers but also fostering a deep connection between international students and the vibrant communities of Ireland. #hostfamilydublinireland #erasmusinireland
