IDA Ireland Graduate Programme

Our unique three-year programme is an immersive way to learn about a career in business, sales and marketing. With four distinct modules each lasting nine months, it’s designed to give a flavour of all aspects of working at IDA Ireland. 

Over the three years, you’ll spend time working in corporate support, on an international posting in one of our overseas offices, you’ll experience the client-facing side of our operations, and you’ll also be based at one of our regional sites around Ireland. It’s the ideal proving ground to learn about a career in business. 

As a graduate, you’ll be communicating with client companies which includes some of the biggest names in their sector. You’ll carry out market research to identify potential clients to attract to Ireland. You’ll get hands-on experience of managing client company visits as they evaluate potential locations in Ireland. During your time here, you’ll have the chance to grow your network both within IDA Ireland and beyond.
