Accessing Internships, Full-time and Part-time Professional Positions Listed on GAELlink:

All paid and credit internships, full-time positions and part-time professional positions are listed online through GAELlink. There is no cost to the employer if they list the job at Iona only. Students are able to search for internships by job function, specific industry or location.

Part-time non-professional jobs (eg: childcare, clerical positions) are posted on the “Part-time Non-Professional” portion of our webpage. After a part time position is listed for a month, it will no longer be active but can be retrieved as an archived position for a year.
