Help emerging Brazilian tech talent prepare for the Irish market.
Beabstracto Dublin Tech Pathway is a pilot education program connecting Brazilian students with real-world tech, product and design challenges in Ireland — through mentorship, portfolio projects and company-led learning experiences.
The challenge
Many international students arrive in Ireland without real industry context.
Brazilian students often come to Ireland with motivation, ambition and willingness to learn — but limited understanding of how tech teams work, what companies expect, and how to build a portfolio aligned with the local market.
Challenge #1
Limited exposure to real tech teams
Students arrive motivated but have never seen how product, design and engineering teams actually collaborate day to day.
- No experience with agile or product workflows
- Unfamiliar with team rituals and communication
- Struggle to understand roles and expectations
Challenge #2
Weak portfolios with no market context
Academic or self-taught projects rarely reflect what Irish employers expect from candidates in tech and design roles.
- Projects disconnected from real problems
- No feedback from industry professionals
- Portfolios that don't reflect local standards
Challenge #3
Lack of professional network in Ireland
Without local connections, students miss the context, referrals and visibility that often determine early career opportunities.
- No industry contacts or references
- Invisible to potential employers
- Missing mentorship and guidance
Challenge #4
Unclear understanding of roles
The boundaries between product, design, engineering and data are often blurry for early-stage international students.
- Confusion about tech career paths
- Misaligned expectations about entry-level roles
- Difficulty positioning themselves in the market
The opportunity

Transparency
What this program is not.
We believe in being completely clear about the nature of this partnership before you decide to participate.
Not an unpaid internship program
This is an educational partnership. Students participate in structured learning — not in unpaid labour for companies.
Not a replacement for employees
Partner companies contribute their knowledge and time. Students are learners, not substitute workers.
Not a promise of hiring
Participation does not create any obligation or expectation of employment. Hiring decisions remain entirely with each company.
Not a recruitment agency
Beabstracto is an education company. We prepare students — we do not place candidates or charge recruitment fees.
Not a visa or immigration service
We do not manage visas, permits or immigration processes. All legal status matters are handled separately by official channels.
