To us in Equipeople it is very important that we do as much as possible in advance of the applicants' arrival to ensure that their work experience in Ireland is
going to be one of the best periods in their life. We want the trip to go as smoothly as possible and so we have compiled some information to help make that
happen.

The Application Process
Equipeople's Role in the Placement
There are some requirements in order for students to qualify for our programmes, and some documents that need to be submitted to support their
applications. All students must provide a letter from their school/college/university confirming that the period of work experience/internship is either:
• A compulsory part of their agricultural education
• Strongly recommended to be completed during their education
• Strongly recommended within 12 months of graduation to develop the student’s future education or professional career
• Funded through Erasmus+, school/college funding or regional/council funding
The placement the students choose to attend should be relevant to their education in some way, for example:
• Agricultural Science
• Equine Studies
• Animal Keeping
• Veterinary Studies
• Environmental Studies
• Horticulture/Landscaping
• Tourism/Hotel Management
• Childcare i.e. Teaching, Nursing, Pedagogy, Social Care
