Work Experience Sponsorship 2026
Creative Digital Media students in TU Dublin’s Blanchardstown campus are in their third year and ready to contribute meaningfully to your projects. They bring fresh perspectives, current technical skills, and enthusiasm to learn from industry professionals. Over a 12-week unpaid placement, they gain hands-on experience in a professional workplace, applying the knowledge and skills developed during their studies through the Work Experience module.
We partner with organisations that can offer meaningful learning experiences. Placement sponsors should be well-established in digital media or have a dedicated unit focused on digital media functions (e.g., UX/UI, software development, service design, web/app development, graphic design, audio/video production, e-learning, digital marketing).
