About EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum
EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum tells the moving and unforgettable stories of those who left the island of Ireland, and how they influenced and shaped the world.
It is much more than just a museum. EPIC is a place where Irish stories are told in an exciting, vibrant and interactive way. You don’t just read about history, you get fully immersed and experience this breath-taking story in state-of-the-art interactive galleries, complete with touch screens, motion sensor quizzes and a feast of powerful audio and video that bring Irish Stories to life.
The storytelling journey continues for our visitors when they arrive in the EPIC Gift shop where products have been handpicked showcasing Irish design and craftmanship.
Centrally located in the beautifully restored vaults of the historic CHQ building in Dublin’s Docklands. We’ve been voted “Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction” 3 years in a row and are just as committed to engaging and developing our people through the Fáilte Ireland Employer Excellence Programme and are especially proud to be one of Ireland’s Best Places to Work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
