Since 2018 TG4 has invited applications from third level graduates, or newcomers to the industry, to participate in a year-long work experience internship programme with the Irish language station.
Among the current interns is Ellen Nic Conuladh a 26-year-old animation filmmaker from Swords in North Dublin with four years’ experience working on productions for major platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and RTÉ. She studied 2D Animation at IADT, where she created an award-screened animated documentary about her father’s childhood during the Troubles, later gaining industry recognition including a 2023 VFX IFTA with EGG Post Production.
Internships within TG4 offer valuable hands-on experience across a range of media roles, particularly for those with strong Irish language skills. Opportunities include placements in areas such as social media, production, and sports broadcasting, where interns contribute to content creation, live event coverage, and digital engagement. Interns can gain experience across a variety of departments, including BLOC, MOLSCÉAL, Spórt TG4, Foghlaim TG4, as well as in graphic design and editing. TG4 is currently seeking new interns in these areas, providing an exciting opportunity for individuals to develop practical skills in a dynamic, Irish-language media environment while building a strong foundation for a career in broadcasting.
Ellen credits her love and respect for the Irish language and culture to her primary school years in Scoil an Duinnínigh in Feiltrim, Co.Dublin. After her year with TG4 she hopes to use the internship to develop Irish-language storytelling and continue highlighting modern Irish stories through animation. Ellen says that “the TG4 internship is an opportunity to nurture my love for the Irish language/ culture while also getting the opportunity to return to and refine my creative work.”
If you’re interested in becoming part of the next group of TG4 interns, please send your CV with a cover letter to cv@tg4.ie
Closing date for applications is Sunday the 12th of April.
