Finance Internship Programme - Tesco Ireland

What’s in it for you

This paid, 10-week programme over the summer will give you real-life experience in one of our Finance teams. It’s an exciting opportunity and definitely more than just numbers - we’re counting on you to support our customers’ needs and to work with trusted partners to help serve our customers a little better every day. You’ll need to work collaboratively across our Finance teams and wider business to deliver a project, building valuable skills to support your future career.

You’ll be encouraged to try new things, push yourself and learn from mistakes while you get hands-on experience. You’ll have access to a wide variety of workshops and resources, online or at our on-site training academy, to help you develop skills like presenting with confidence and effective influencing, as well as looking after your wellbeing. And don’t worry, you’ll be supported throughout your 10-week internship by your manager and your buddy.

A successful internship with us can guarantee you an interview for our Business graduate programme when you graduate - before you’ve even started your final year of study!
