Complete your internship with us. We welcome local, national and international students. We accept both short and long term student placements, work placements, and internships. 

Students play a vital role in the life of Togher Family Centre and support the work we do. You can help make a difference by choosing to undertake your work or student placement with Togher Family Centre. Consider which of our services best suit your study programme and grow as part of our dynamic team. 
 
We provide a range of learning environments for students who are accepted for placement. We provide opportunities in all of our departments and settings. 

I would recommend the CE scheme to someone who is long-term unemployed or facing barriers to employment. The scheme helped me to rebuild my confidence and to develop new skills. The guidance, support, and opportunities I was given through the C.E scheme helped me to grow both personally and professionally.
Working on the CE Scheme helped me get back into a routine and reminded me of my capabilities. I also improved my communication and teamwork skills by working with others, and I gained new qualifications that made me feel more prepared to enter the Early Years workforce.
