ESPO Seeking Irish Language Speakers For EU Jobs
The European Personnel Selection Office (ESPO) has announced two new competitions to recruit Irish language speakers for positions on the EU's institutions in Brussels and Luxembourg.
Welcoming the announcements, the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Heather Humphreys, said: "I am delighted that EPSO has announced competitions for Irish Language Linguistic Assistants and Translators to work in the EU Institutions. This is a perfect opportunity for Irish speakers who are interested in pursuing career opportunities in the EU institutions as successful applicants will benefit hugely from working in a multicultural and multilingual environment that is progressive and stimulating."
The Minister said also the agreement opens up the possibility of valuable career opportunities in EU institutions for Irish language speakers over the next few years. In order to facilitate the preparation of suitably qualified applicants for current and future competitions, the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht will continue to fund the provision of specialist Irish language courses through the Advanced Irish Language Skills Initiative.
