About NextJobStep
A system for international students hunting jobs in Ireland, not another jobs board.
We built NextJobStep because Ireland's international students deserve a real system, not another job board.
Why this exists
More international students every year. Support that hasn't kept up.
Much of that growth has landed on colleges that were never built with dedicated careers infrastructure: English language schools and IT or professional training providers, not the large universities with in-house career centres. Students on those courses are left to figure out the Irish job market largely on their own, with spreadsheets, scattered job boards, and no way to tell which employers actually hold work permits. NextJobStep was built to close that gap.
- Applications tracked in one place, from saved to offer
- Employers checked against Ireland's permit register
- A portal so colleges can support their students properly
What we believe
The reasoning behind the product.
A few principles that shape every feature we build.
- 01
Data beats guessing
Whether it is sponsorship history or application status, students and colleges should see what is actually happening, not have to assume it.
- 02
A partnership, not just software
Colleges get a portal they can act on and a team that answers questions, not a login and a support ticket queue.
- 03
Proof over promises
Every status change is recorded, so the record a student shares is one they can stand behind.
