Students participating in the UCC Works Internship Pathway are required to complete a minimum of forty hours voluntary placement within the organisation. This is certified by a record of attendance form signed by the internship provider. Students are then required to complete a reflective report and update their C.V in order to qualify for the UCC WORKS AWARD.

2. Students should apply for the internship position by contacting the internship provider directly. Once you are successful in gaining the internship, register your participation here with us in the UCC Works Programme on the UCC Works Internship Pathway.
A skills-based CV is the usual requirement and the majority of internship positions require the student to attend an interview. More information on creating a CV can be found here. Students should approach the interviewing process for UCC WORKS internship positions the same as if they were applying for a paid position within an organisation.
If you would like more help in updating your CV you can book an appointment with a UCC Careers Advisor.
