You have to get the schemes section in the Social welfare office to agree to it, but they have done it previously. As long as it is part of your course the seem to allow it.

Bring proof form the college and the acceptance letter from the employer to the schemes section and get them to agree before you accept the placement.

Some courses need work experience from Sept to Jan in 3rd year, but employers seem happier to have the person from June etc till Jan. But you cant do a job bridge internship (ie the extra €20 per week)
