Are you self-confident, motivated and quick to learn?

Have you what it takes to blend in to an ongoing business in an English speaking country?

Would you warm to the cosiness your host family will offer you?

Can the HBK depend on you and you can honestly answer 'yes' to these questions?

As a student at the HBK, your college offers you the exciting possibility to participate in a European Union funded, three-week, work placement project.

Make no mistake, the selection process is demanding. However, if you make the grade you will have the privilege and pleasure of working  in and soaking up the atmosphere and culture of one of Europe's fastest growing countries.

Within Eire, imagine yourself living and working in the hustle and bustle of Dublin, a vibrant city that will continue to pulse through your veins long after you leave, and where the HBK is very grateful for the wonderful co-operation given by the following establishments:

Colaiste Dhulaigh College, Dublin 5, our project partner; co-ordinator Ulrike McMahon

Ardagh Dental Supplies Ltd, Dublin 3

Davies

Heiton Buckley

Sonopress Ireland

As you are spoiled for choice, perhaps you would prefer to choose Northern Ireland.

Here, you will definitely enjoy the slightly less hectic, though stunningly beautiful, north coast of Antrim. Within the Coleraine triangle, the HBK is delighted with the amazing support provided to us by the following establishments:

Hughes Galleries Ltd, Portstewart

Kennedy Contractors Ltd, Coleraine

Northern Ireland Libraries

Naturally, it goes without saying that the HBK cannot praise our host families highly enough for their care and the special way that they will instantly make you feel welcome in "your home away from home". A big, big "thank you" to each and every one of you!
