Connecting great companies with the best and brightest

The Ibec Global Graduates programme places graduates attracted by an international career on paid work placements around the world with leading companies over 12 months. Each of our three graduate programmes combine on-the-job experiential learning and academic study leading to an accredited qualification. Sponsoring companies receive funding and access to a pre-screened network of the brightest graduates.

NEWS:
Ibec has decided to run one final 12 month Global Graduate Programme in its current design, which will span the period August 2021 - August 2022.  This follows an extensive programme review, including detailed analysis of the evolving needs of member companies and graduates.  

As part of Ibec’s strategic planning, new models and approaches are being examined, to better meet our member’s needs.
 
The Ibec Global Graduate Programme (formerly EOP), was established in 1983. Over 2,700 graduates across different sectors of the Irish economy, including Technology, MedTech, Engineering, Biopharma Chem, Tourism, Food and Drink and the Financial Services sectors, have been placed in exciting roles, both in Ireland and worldwide, over this time. Many of our alumni are now in senior roles across our economy, and speak very highly of the value of the programme to their early careers. Similarly, we have received very positive feedback from the companies who have taken part in the programme over the last number of years, so we look forward to working in a new way in this space, in the future.
