2025 Douglass-O'Connell Global Interns

2025 Global Interns

During their eight weeks in Ireland, the 2025 Douglass-O’Connell Global Interns will attend lectures on the history of Ireland, participate in extracurricular and networking activities, and intern with a host company that aligns with their skills and career goals.

Whether writing, editing, and publishing articles for one of Ireland’s leading media companies, analyzing data-based trends to optimize urban transportation for a cutting-edge Transportation Tech startup, or advocating for human rights for those living in chronic poverty, the interns will grow professionally but also contribute to the important work of their host companies as they work alongside Irish colleagues.
