The job market for accountancy graduates and students is very difficult at the moment, with many well-qualified, intelligent young people unable to find immediate employment.

An internship offers them the chance to sample a working environment and pick up useful sector-related experience whilst, at the same time, giving you the potential employer an opportunity to have a good look at them and assess whether or not you want to take them on permanently.

Large companies and audit firms have been using interns for a long time and the trend is growing. However, amongst the SME business community, it is still a very novel idea. Whilst small American companies and audit firms see the utilisation of student resources as a natural source of solution to their problems, their Irish counterparts are failing to tap in to this potential source of competitive advantage.
