My Department actively participates in the National Internship Programme – JobBridge, which is run by FÁS - full details of this scheme are available at www.jobbridge.ie. My Department also participated in the predecessor to this scheme - the FÁS Workplacement Programme. The JobBridge scheme and FÁS Workplacement Programme are open to graduates and non-graduates. All internships under both schemes to date in the Department have been for graduates. Current internship vacancies in the Department are advertised on the JobBridge website - www.jobbridge.ie .
