The roles

At Invest Northern Ireland we are committed to providing students with wide-ranging and practical experience. We are currently recruiting for a number of students for a 12-month placement, starting in September 2025.

You will be given opportunities during your placement that will develop you both professionally and personally. We aim to equip you with essential skills you can apply to your degree, and ultimately boost future job opportunities.

You can apply for one of four specialist roles in:

  • Communications
  • Human Resources
  • ICT
  • International Business

I would highly recommend other students to apply for the placement opportunities within Invest Northern Ireland.

Since starting my placement year in September I have gained a wealth of practical experience. I have been able to get involved with numerous Human Resources projects and attend training courses which has helped to develop both my professional and personal skills.

I have found the blend of remote and office-based working very beneficial. It is a nice mix of being in the office and experiencing that environment, but also working from home and not having to travel every day.

I have a good work-life balance and that is very important.
