Ronan Takizawa (Jan 2023 - May 2023)

My internship at IJCC was an enriching experience that provided me with a diverse set of tech-related projects to work on, including social media analysis, web design and newsletter automation. What makes this internship unique is the organization's commitment to allowing interns to pursue projects that align with their passions, fostering an environment where creativity thrives. 

A major takeaway from my internship was the freedom to work flexibly. There were no limitations on where and when I worked so, in a sense I was able to accomplish a lot. Furthermore, the professional work environment taught me how to communicate in formal business settings, a skill that will undoubtedly serve me well in my future career. Another highlight of my internship was the chance to connect with the Ireland-Japan community, forging meaningful relationships and keeping in touch with my cultural roots.  

I highly recommend this internship, especially to those venturing into internships for the first time, as it offers a perfect blend of manageable workload and flexibility for growth and learning. 

Shalini Ranasinghe (Aug 2023 - Sept 2023)

During my internship at the Ireland Japan Chamber of Commerce, I've had a transformative experience delving into the world of international business relations. From assisting in organizing events that fostered cross-cultural connections to contributing to market research projects, I've gained invaluable insights into the dynamics between Ireland and Japan. Collaborating with a team of dedicated professionals has not only expanded my understanding of bilateral trade but has also equipped me with practical skills in networking and communication.  

This internship has truly been a stepping stone towards my personal and professional growth, and I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to contribute to strengthening the ties between these two nations.

Khunn Kyal Sin Kyaw (Aug 2023 - Sept 2023)

Throughout my ongoing internship at IJCC, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of stimulating projects including developing a comprehensive onboarding process to welcome future interns and SNS management. These projects aligns perfectly with my passion for HR and leverages my market research skills, allowing me to explore topics I'm truly passionate about.  

Another valuable aspect of my internship has been the chance to immerse myself in business networking through various events. This experience has significantly improved my professional networking skills, enabling me to forge meaningful connections within the industry. 

I recommend this internship to those who want to leverage their existing skills and experiences. While English is the primary language used in the office, an intermediate level of proficiency is perfectly acceptable. This makes it an ideal choice for students looking to challenge themselves in an English-speaking work environment without feeling overwhelmed.
