If you have a degree and have started your grad job – but want to accelerate your training. Or if you don’t have a degree and are established in your professional field – but feel like you’ve got as far as you can in Ireland. Then it’s time to take it up a level. 

Doing a professional traineeship in the USA will put your experience head and shoulders above the rest. You’ll grow your skillset, learn from leaders in your industry, and get world-class experience that can see you move straight into senior leadership roles when you return home.
