Host Introduction

Vodafone has also been voted one of the best places to work in Ireland, is the official sponsor of the Irish Rugby team and has a charity partnership with ALONE and Active Retirement Ireland. At Vodafone (10,001+ employees), we are known for our technology, but the truth is, it is humanity that drives our business forward. With the global pandemic raising so many questions for tech brands, it has highlighted the leading role that we need to play. We believe that, when working together, humanity and technology can find the answers and create a better future for all.

Working at Vodafone is all about helping people feel ready to benefit from new technology. We bring the future to even the most remote places, using technology to help families in disaster zones, showing young people that a phone is not just for fun and thinking about technology that doesn’t even exist yet. More than 35 years ago, we made the first-ever mobile phone call, we sent the first SMS in Britain and have been changing the lives of billions of people ever since. Now, we are using smartphones to fight cancer, big data for social good, and we aim to connect over 250 million people to our next generation networks by 2025.

We are passionate about building a workplace where you can truly be yourself, share inspiration, embrace new opportunities, thrive and make a real difference to people and our planet. We are known for our technology, but it is humanity that drives us forward.

Our Technology business unit is one of the largest in the organisation, which looks after our network and IT structure within the organisation.

This will allow the intern to have a greater insight into how we operate as a digital telco and how customers are able to use our service for Voice and data services through both their mobiles and their home broadband. There are a number of different functions within Technology, which are crucial to the success of Vodafone.

So whether it’s a budding start up, or a seasoned multinational corporation – we’re always on hand to help. We are revolutionising how our business customers use voice, messaging, data and fixed-line solutions to ensure they are ready for today.
