Inside Story: Emmet's Internship at ICON

Internships offer an invaluable experience and are incredible opportunities for learning and growth, especially for those looking to gain experience in industry. They provide a real-world experience that complements academic learning.

In this blog article, we hear from Emmet as he reflects on his experience interning in the Dublin labs at ICON.

Accellacare Internships - North America

Accellacare provides internships annually. Interns work an average of 15 hours a week from August through to April, where they are trained on site processes, providing support to our coordinators. Accellacare Interns are able to ramp up more quickly than average employees because they gain a strong foundation of knowledge regarding research terminology, regulatory processes, good clinical practice, and more through the internship. On average, 40% of ICON’s Accellacare interns convert to full-time roles.

My career has developed exponentially since my internship. I was hired as an entry level Site Activation Specialist and have worked my way up to a Site Management Associate 2 in under two years of full time employment. I also had the opportunity to become a Subject Matter Expert for a companywide initiative and received many outstanding spotlights for my performance. I fully believe that without my time as an intern at ICON/Legacy-PRA that I would not be where I am today. I am so grateful to this company for allowing me to learn and grow with their support.

Ashley

Site Activation Specialist, Study Start-Up

This internship experience taught me so much about the clinical research industry. I can confidently say that I would not be nearly as comfortable in my current role or education had I not done this internship.

Kimberley

Site Activation Specialist, Study Start-Up

ICON and the summer internship gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my skills as a data scientist to colleagues and upper management. Working with Symphony provides me the chance to learn from my peers and engage in projects that involve problems that are new and challenging, also allowing me to not only grow skills but engage with others within our company, which is always a pleasure. I could excel my career by shadowing and being engaged with various amounts of client projects that expanded my understanding and tools to tackle different analysis.
