International Students

MTU’s Careers Service is delighted to provide a specially tailored Careers Programme for International Students.

We understand that international students are often new to the Irish jobs market and can benefit from advice and support in learning how best to promote themselves to employers and recruitment agencies.

 

In the first semester we offer three online sessions:

• Understanding the Irish labour Market
• Top Tips for your CV
• 1G Visa Graduate Scheme and Employer Permits from immigration specialists Fragomen

 

In the second semester we run a Recruitment and Alumni Panel Event:  

• Expert advice is provided from a recruitment agency on navigating the Irish jobs market.
• Students hear individual stories of the career paths of several graduates.

 

We work closely with academic colleagues to ensure we design a programme of interest and value to students; our thanks to the collaborative support of lecturers Vincent Ryan, Nacho Castineiras and Vincent Cregan. Promotional support is much appreciated from Ronan Syron of the International Office.

 

Please note: The programme events may vary from year to year and while tailored for international (non-EU/EEA) students, it is open to all MTU students.
