Dear James,

As you know, we have been working on the new perfume that we are launching in April and we are unsure about some of the packaging details. We have seen some of your creative work in the sales department and we think you have a very good eye for detail.

Do you have some time before close of business this Friday to sit down with us and talk through some of our designs? We would truly appreciate your advice on this. It shouldn't take longer than two hours of your time and we would be happy to clear it with Patricia, your department head, if necessary.

Best regards,

Sarah Ford

Head of Department

We all know that a study or work abroad experience is very enriching but above all life changing. On top of all the new skills you will develop while abroad we really believe that every experience abroad makes you stronger as a person and offers you plenty of opportunities to grow professionally and personally.

Your Certificate

All our students and young professionals who carry out a work experience either in our company EazyCity or in one of our partner host companies will receive an Internship Abroad Certificate to certify their work experience.

Living for a period abroad should not be all about the internship or the language course but about the experience we live. At the end of your Study or Work Experience we will issue your certificate and send it to you via email.

LinkedIn Certificate for your profile - Increase your chances to find a job

We strongly encourage to add your Internship Abroad Certificate to your LinkedIn profile and share the Certificate we send you at the end of your experience. If you don't have a LinkedIn profile we highly recommend to create one as most companies look for you on LinkedIn even before the interview. See below what our Certificate looks like on your LinkedIn profile. For more information or to receive your Certificate please contact our team: [email protected]

It is very important to update your LinkedIn profile highlighting your work experience abroad. Companies really appreciate potential hires to have an experience abroad and you may have a better chance to be contacted by a company.

Add your Certificate on your LinkedIn profile, watch this video where we show you how to do it

What are the emotions we experience when we go abroad to study? When I travelled to Ireland to study English in my early 20s, for sure I experienced curiosity, excitement, anxiety, fear, happiness, freedom.

I started feeling alive the moment I planed the trip to Dublin. Now that I am no longer a student and I co founded EazyCity I often find myself thinking about all the students and young professionals we welcome on a weekly basis, their emotions and what it actually means to them going abroad to study for the first time.

After almost 20 years in the Language Travel sector I can easily say that studying abroad encourages the development of:

To confirm this, however, is a scientific research, which compared the scores relating to the self-esteem of some sixteen-year-olds who left for a year of study abroad, with those of their peers who had not left. Upon their return, the students showed much higher levels of self-esteem than those of their peers. Research Source

As a business we feel very fortunate, we believe that giving back is often more important than receiving so from this year 2022 onwards we launched the "Felice Veneziani Scholarship" for 5 students which will allow them to study English and do a work experience for a month in Ireland. If you wish to apply for 2023 EazyCity Scholarship click on the link above but before we invite you to watch the video interview of the 2022 Scholarship winners.

We asked the students who won the Felice Veneziani Scholarship in 2022 to share their study abroad experience from an emotional point of view. The interview is in Italian but you can visit our YouTube channel to watch other interviews here

Note: Felice Veneziani is the grandfather of Enrico Zoppi. I wanted to create a scholarship in honour of my grandfather to remember this fundamental figure in my personal and professional path.

In the past 12 months we have experienced unprecedented increases in energy prices and with more increases set to be announced in the coming weeks. In Ireland we have seen on average an 87% increase in the price of gas & electricity since 2021.

Our aim at EazyCity is to share with you some good tips for responsible energy consumption and avoid the waste of energy while staying in our properties.

How to save electricity?

A number of basic actions can be taken to reduce electricity costs by making the best use of domestic appliances, electronic devices and the heating and lighting system in the home.

Here are some suggestions to avoid unnecessary waste of energy.

Globally today, there are almost 800 million people who have little or no access to education. Adults and children who do not have basic literary skills. Back in 1820, the world's population from secondary school age onward had a literacy rate of only 12%, according to The World Bank.

In 1900, it exceeded 20%. From the 1950s on, world literacy began to improve significantly, hitting 42% in 1960 and 70% in 1983. Today, the global literacy rate stands at 87%, or almost nine out of ten people worldwide.

Here at EazyCity we believe that education is a basic human right for all and that everyone should have access to. In this big world of ours we also want to do our small part. In the last 18 years we have been promoting study language programs and professional internships to thousands of young European and US students who wish to improve their language skills as well as develop important soft skills, useful for their personal and professional growth.

We care about the world we live in and we would like to share with you these important organisations we find inspiring and motivating:

Gapminder

World Economic Forum

World Bank

Eighteen years of EazyCity, wow! We only started celebrating our company anniversary from our 5th year in business. We did not celebrate our 1st year, probably because we were so busy building the company that we didn't think it was important, or may be we didn't expect to last more than a few years.

Julia and I started this business to essentially make life "eazy" for students looking for a house, a job or a language course in Cork, where it all began. We absolutely loved opening other branches in Ireland, UK, Spain, Italy and US. So far helping students and young professionals to settle into a new country has been very rewarding and fun. Over the years we met so many interesting people from pretty much all over the world. Since 2004 we welcomed people from over 60 different nationalities.

This year's anniversary is special because we had two difficult years because of the pandemic. We feel very fortunate to have a fantastic team and to still have the same passion for this great industry.

Happy Birthday to us!
