    Hi, I am studying English Literature, Language and Linguistics combined with Political Science (I am not from Ireland).
    My question is: What could I do for work?


    2. Question
    Is it true that Ireland has no apprenticeship vacancies, instead everything is learned at college?
    I just know that it is different in the UK.

    Thank You for your answers :):)

    I am not sure what you are asking in your first question, do you want to know what career you could pursue with your qualification, or how to go about getting part time work whilst you are in college, such as retail, bar work etc?
    With regards to your second question. Yes we do have apprenticeships in Ireland, although the model is currently under review. Apprenticeships are for manual trades such as plumbing, carpentry etc. Apprentices work on the job but spend block time in college/FAS centres.
