An American chapter with professional substance
The appeal of America does not have to wait until you have established your career. A paid internship lets you spend time there while building it: a US employer on your CV, colleagues to learn from and a city to make your own.
Give your American chapter a business focus
For a student or graduate in Ireland, a business placement can connect your course to how a US team makes decisions. Bring examples of market research, operations analysis or a product project. We arrange the professional placement before departure, so your plans centre on a defined role and team.
The work you could do
We match your background to the employer and role. Typical areas of work include:
- Map business processes and identify questions for analysis
- Support product and project operations
- Contribute to market and go-to-market research
- Explore substantive HR, e-commerce or programme analytics
Prepare for your employer interviews
Business, management, economics, product-related study and relevant operational or analytical experience.
Bring examples of a project you organised, a process you examined or a business question you researched. Explain what you did, what evidence informed your choices and what you would change next time. Academic and extracurricular projects can be relevant when presented honestly and with clear boundaries.
Your paid placement, arranged before departure
Aureus prepares you for employer interviews, secures your paid placement and coordinates the J-1 process. Your proposal sets out the programme fee and guarantee before you enrol; your employer offer confirms the role, hours, location and pay. Budget separately for travel and living costs where these are not included.
