Horse Racing Ireland (HRI), the national authority for thoroughbred horseracing in Ireland, is offering a total of seven internships at this year’s Agri Careers fair in the RDS on 30 March.

HRI is looking to fill three internship positions and four racecourse internship positions.

HRI is involved in activities within the racing department, the betting division and the marketing department of Irish horseracing. It also delivers direct services to several racecourses throughout the country.

The three HRI internships will be based at its headquarters at Ballymany, Co Kildare. Here, interns will work within the marketing team of HRI and will help run all marketing activities. Successful candidates will be involved with event management, digital marketing, database management and PR.

Racecourse interns will be based at either Fairyhouse, Leopardstown, Navan or Tipperary. These positions will see interns gaining experience in marketing, logistics, sales, operations and administration sections of the racecourses, all of which contribute to the successful running of a racecourse.

These are all paid internships and will last for a duration of 10 to 12 weeks. Successful candidates are also expected to work 9am to 5pm, with occasional weekend work also.

To apply, download an application form from the goracing.ie page and send it, along with your CV, to internships@hri.ie. The closing date for applications is 31 March at 5pm.

To learn more about these internships, attend this year’s Agri Careers fair where you can speak to a representative of HRI.
