European Movement Ireland is currently running a series of talks around the country targeting third level students who may be interested in career opportunities within the EU's institutions. The campaign entitled "Grad Jobs in Europe" is designed to raise awareness among third level students of the vast range of jobs and internships open to Irish graduates in Brussels within the various EU institutions and bodies.
Andrea Pappin, Executive Director of European Movement Ireland is concerned that not enough Irish people are entering the EU civil service and rising through the ranks of the EU. If this situation does not improve Ireland could find itself grossly under represented within the EU system within a decade. "Our campaign is designed to show students the opportuntities that exist for them there and show them they are more than qualified for the positions available, " she said.
