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.
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.
Among the current interns from Galway are Ciarán Ó Flaithearta from Inis Mór. Ciarán is the Sports Intern with TG4 since August 2025.

Since joining TG4 as an intern in 2025, he has contributed to productions like Sacar na mBan, GAA Beo, and Rugbaí Beo while creating digital content for Spórt TG4 social platforms.
