Teaching Careers Fair
University of Galway Graduate Internships & Teaching Careers Fair 2026
Showcasing Ireland’s Future Educators and Graduate Talent
We’re pleased to announce that the University of Galway Teaching Careers Fair has now merged with the Graduate Internships & Job Fair in January 2026. This change reflects growing demand from employers who wish to connect with a wider range of students for teaching and education-related opportunities both in Ireland and abroad.
Why the Change?
Many of our employer partners are seeking to engage not only with final-year and postgraduate teaching students, but also with students from other disciplines who are considering a future in education. By merging these events, we offer a broader, more diverse student audience, including:
✅ Final-year and postgraduate students from Education and Teaching programmes
✅ 1st and 2nd year Education students exploring future career and placement opportunities
✅ Students from across the University interested in teaching, early years, English language teaching, and other education roles in Ireland and internationally
What’s in it for Employers?
✅ Broaden Your Reach – Connect with a wide talent pool of students and recent graduates considering careers in education across multiple sectors
✅ Early Engagement – Raise awareness of your organisation and future opportunities among early-year teaching students
✅ Stronger ROI – Maximise your visibility and fill vacancies through a single, high-impact event with cross-University promotion
Previously Planned to Attend the Teaching Careers Fair?
If you were planning to attend the Teaching Careers Fair, please note it is now part of the combined Graduate Internships & Teaching Careers Fair.
