Internships
NovaUCD has an ongoing range of internships available to students who are looking to work in start-up companies.
These include collaborations with the UCD Quinn School of Business and the UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School, in areas such as business development and marketing.
Such internships enable students, who have an interest in entrepreneurship or an ambition to start their own business, a real experience of working in the start-up sector.
Why Intern at NovaUCD ?
- At NovaUCD, we can offer our interns experience in start-up companies with multiple project opportunities in a variety of business sectors. Industry areas of interest include business development, marketing, medtech, foodtech, life sciences, environmental, digital and data analytics.
- Being part of a co-working community means you will be surrounded by true innovators in an entrepreneurial environment where you can learn plenty from company founders.
- In contrast to internships in large organisations you will have more responsibility in a start-up, you will be considered a critical member of the team, you will find yourself working across different departments of the company and you will be at the forefront of seeing how businesses are developed.
Look out for us at UCD’s annual Internship Fair.
Testimonial
"My internship at NovaUCD allowed me to develop new skills, implement my ideas, and grow as a professional. I learned so much and was given meaningful work which is why I valued this internship so much.
I was able to implement a market analysis and provide a presentation to a team of people regarding the launch of a new product into a potential market. I worked underneath Simon Factor who served as a great mentor to me and gave me independence in my work and listened to my ideas. Also, the work culture at Nova was incredible. Every day I was greeted by a friendly face and I felt that the employees genuinely cared about me as an individual.
I am so grateful for this experience!"
