Hospitality Internships in Galway

I interned abroad in Galway, Ireland in the summer of 2024. I chose AIFS because I enjoyed all the services they provided me with. They contacted companies to get interviews for my internship, they arranged housing, and they provided lots of advising before and during my program. Before my program, they really helped me prepare for my interviews. I learned about my top five strengths and how I use them in the workplace. I also received lots of support during my program. AIFS provided us with a location coordinator. It was so helpful to have someone to answer any questions and help in any way possible. My housing was arranged by AIFS, which really took a lot of stress off my shoulders. I had my own room and bathroom and shared a kitchen/living area with two of the other interns in my program. AIFS also provided me with a few excursions. We had welcome and exit events, a trip to Inishmore, an Irish dance class, a trip to Connemara, and a chance to watch professional Irish dancers. In my program, there were about 20 interns. Having other interns provided me with a great community. We explored the city together, traveled together, and created great friendships. I absolutely loved my program!

Galway was such a fun time that I believed to be an enriching experience. The interns that I met on the trip were all lovely individuals and we got along great! Being able to be an intern in Galway was a new experience that I would recommend to everyone. We got to go to explore other countries as well such as France and we explored other parts of Ireland! Galway is a nice sized city and the access we had to the beach made things so fun!
