YSI hosts a Transition Year Work Experience Week every autumn. 

Last year, YSI was delighted to welcome nine Transition Year students for a week of work experience learning about social innovation and what it's like to work at a non-profit organisation.

The 2026 Programme will take place from 16-20 November. Unfortunately, work experience will not be available at any other point during the 2026-2027 Academic Year. This will be a hybrid experience with 4 days in YSI's office in Dublin and 1 day working from home.

Where possible, YSI prioritises a balance between pupils attending DEIS and non-DEIS schools, gender balance and pupils attending schools who have/ have not participated in YSI previously. Applications for this year's programme are now open. 

Please complete the application form to submit your interest. Applications will close at 12pm on 13th October 2026.
