FOR PARTICIPANTS
Ireland is one of the most developed countries in the world as well as one of the leading EU countries, with great historical heritage and excellent working opportunities with some of the leading global organisations. Ireland is a perfect place to undertake your work placement!
Each student is an individual to the RALF Partnership. We take the time and care to know them in order they gain the maximum benefit during their stay in Ireland both personally and professionally. All our managed programmes are tailored to the desired standard of the colleges.
How is the project organised?
Before the project begins
We contact the student/sending organisation regarding the professional profile of the project and details. Students send us their CV and RALF can provide them with the most suitable work placements.
In some professional sectors, according to Irishlegislation, students will have to undergo certain security checks. Therefore students and their sending organisations must provide additional information and RALF will arrange for all the necessary documentation.
Before arrival
At least two weeks before arrival, we send a programme with full information about the work placement and accommodation, welcome on arrival, procedures and dress code, as well as all contact information. It ensures that the students are well informed on arrival.
Arrival
We inform the student about the arrival to the project city and arrange airport transfer if required. One of our team will meet the students and arrange transport to the accommodation. We provide students with an information pack, and a city tour is provided at the beginning of the project.Within the first couple of days, we introduce the students to their work placement company or organisation and our team show them how to get to their work placement from the accommodation by public transport. Each student will be accompanied by a member of staff from RALF.
If required, the students start their English language course withing the first couple of days.
Stay in Ireland
During the project period, our team carry out monitoring and evaluation visits to see how the students are getting on with their work placement and accommodation.
If required, we organise various cultural visits and entertainment possibilities, as well additional professional visits and seminars.
At the end of the project
RALF provide Europasses and language certificates for students. We collect evaluation forms regarding the experience and their stay in Ireland. We provide information regarding departure and organise airport transfer, if required.
