Liberty IT in Belfast has launched a recruitment drive aimed at third level students for 20 new intern software engineers.
The successful applicants will gain first-hand experience working on projects targeted for production through Liberty IT’s full process for development, testing and release.
Emma Mullan, senior director of talent at Liberty IT, said: “At Liberty IT we invest heavily in the continuous learning and development of our teams at every stage of their career.
“And this commitment extends to the tech talent of the future, from the very beginning of their career.
“As part of this, we are delighted to launch a recruitment drive to give 20 students the opportunity to enjoy a fulfilling placement year with us for our 2025 intake.”
She said the interns would be part of core development teams that design, code, test and maintain platforms and services for its Fortune 100 parent, insurance company Liberty Mutual.
“It really is a unique opportunity to work with the industry leader in digital innovation, and I would encourage students currently in the second year of a relevant degree to apply.”
Laura Sweeney, a current intern software engineer, said: “I have had a fantastic internship at Liberty IT. As well as working independently, I have felt fully supported throughout and received ongoing feedback and coaching from a dedicated mentor.
“I loved the opportunity to work and learn, as it has enabled me to develop my skills while gaining practical knowledge that I know will stand by me as I finish my degree and enter the world of work.”
