CCT College Dublin Placements

CCT College Dublin in Ireland quietly gives Indian students some of the strongest placement outcomes among private colleges in Ireland, and the reasons are practical rather than flashy.

The campus sits right in the heart of Dublin 2, literally walking distance from Google, Meta, TikTok, Salesforce, HubSpot, Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, and the whole IFSC banking cluster. Companies don’t have to organise buses or special days, recruiters drop in every week for coffee chats and on-campus interviews because the college is on their daily commute route.

The career team runs a dedicated “International Talent Programme” that forces every student to do a 6-12 month paid placement as part of most computing, cybersecurity, data analytics and business degrees. Indian students regularly land €28,000-€35,000 paid internships at Microsoft, Workday, Version 1, Ergo, and Realex Payments (now Global Payments). Many convert these internships straight into graduate roles with salaries starting €40,000-€55,000 plus the 1-year stay-back visa that Ireland gives.

The lecturers themselves come from industry, head of computing was a former IBM architect, head of business worked at Bank of Ireland, so the curriculum is built around what Dublin employers actually need right now, not five years ago.

Class sizes stay small (20-25 students), so everyone gets proper CV reviews, mock interviews with real recruiters and LinkedIn profile fixes. Result: 94 % of CCT international graduates are in full-time roles or higher study within six months, and a huge chunk never leave Ireland because they already have the job and the Stamp 1G work permit before graduation. For parents worried about “will my child get a job in Ireland?”, CCT removes most of that risk.
