The number of interns who completed an internship, are currently on a placement and the total placements in the Dublin area broken down by postcodes is set out in the following table. The recent independent evaluation of JobBridge published by the Taoiseach and I on 1st May last, found that 61% of interns progress into employment. These exceptional rates of progression into employment compare very favourably with similar schemes across Europe.

The Indecon report found that, of those progressing into employment, 45.2% were in full-time permanent positions, 35.0% were in full-time temporary positions, 9.3% were in part-time permanent positions and 10.5% were in part-time temporary positions.
