Well, there are many good reasons. Here are just a few.
Securing placement can take many forms including:
"MCI Dublin’s internship programme has been recognised by our international colleagues, MCI Group, as best practice within the HR function. This notable accolade is due in no small part to the exceptional quality of the students which DKIT has placed with MCI Dublin over the last number of years. In line with both our goals, students become part of a team, work on live files and put their education into practice. The students bring a great energy to our workplace and are rewarded with a clear understanding of what they would like to do in the future.”

"Your student's placement was, as ever, a very positive experience for our team. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn was a great breath of fresh air. I would have no hesitation in recommending your students for placement in any workplace - in my experience they would be an asset."

"Kate Bowe PR have been working with DkIT Public Relations course since 2009, and have been delighted to have six interns from the course with us over those years. Without exception these individuals have been conscientious and committed, and an asset to our activities here. In addition, the DkIT course staff have always been supportive during these placements and a pleasure to work with. We're looking forward to continuing our relationship with the DkIT placement scheme".

"Our programmes have benefited hugely from the participation of student placement. The students bring enthusiasm, energy and up to date knowledge and we in turn provide a wide range of experiences working with people with disabilities by facilitating sports such as: wheelchair basketball, boccia, swimming, archery, badminton and sit-fit.
