EU Jobs Information & Recruitment Campaign Launched
The Minister for European Affairs, Lucinda Creighton TD today launched a new campaign to promote awareness among Irish people of the career opportunities available in the EU institutions and the internships available in the hundreds of related organisations.
Ireland is well represented in the middle and upper management level of the EU institutions. However, there are insufficient numbers of officials of Irish nationality at more junior grades. This, coupled with the retirement of many officials of Irish nationality, will see numbers falling in the coming years. It is for this reason that the Minister decided to take an active role in promoting awareness throughout Ireland.
The Minister said at the launch: "In Ireland, we are sometimes unaware of the career opportunities that exist, from working directly in the EU institutions to one of the numerous related organisations. This campaign will provide information about the variety of careers available, information about how to get there and support for those considering applying for these positions. In the next 7 years the European Parliament will renew nearly 50% of its staff; why shouldn’t a respectable number of them be Irish?"
