Career and Internship Opportunities

Ireland's economy, often called the "Silicon Valley of Europe," offers Indian students at CCT exceptional career prospects. Dublin hosts giants like Google, Microsoft, and Accenture, many of which recruit from our talent pool. CCT's Career Services team provides dedicated guidance for international students, focusing on resume building, interview skills, and networking tailored to Indian professionals.

• Internships and Placements: Mandatory work placements in programs like Computing (6-12 months) connect you to Ireland's €300 billion tech industry. Past Indian students have interned at IBM and Deloitte, gaining EU-recognized experience.
• Graduate Employment: 95% employability rate within six months. Popular roles include Software Developer, Business Analyst, and Digital Marketer, with starting salaries averaging €35,000–€45,000—transferable skills for India's IT hubs like Bangalore and Hyderabad.

Post-graduation, leverage Ireland's Third Level Graduate Scheme, allowing up to 24 months of work without a visa sponsorship—ideal for gaining experience before returning to India or pursuing EU opportunities.
