Since 2010, more and more students across Europe have been finding out about job opportunities in the EU institutions. This is thanks to the EU Careers brand Ambassadors who represent us at universities throughout Europe.
The scheme involves finding innovative ways to promote the great opportunities we have to offer. For starters, all of our Ambassadors receive comprehensive training to prepare them perfectly for the role. You’ll be able to develop the skills you need to be a successful Ambassador, and we’ll give you loads of support and ideas on getting started.
Is your university part of the programme this year? You can check the list here.
If so, are you interested in:
– Finding out more about EU Career opportunities and promoting them to your fellow students?
– Building a fantastic network across Europe?
– Gaining work experience during your studies?
– Developing your skills in public speaking, marketing and HR?
– Receiving a full induction and coaching throughout the role?
– Giving your CV extra clout with future employers?
The webpage will give you all the information you need on how to become an EU Careers Student Ambassador.
The ambassadors will be acting as a point of contact for students interested in EU Careers, researching target groups and contacting university media, setting up mailing lists and distributing information on EU Careers through the appropriate channels, giving presentations, attending university careers events and finding interesting speakers, completing monthly tasks and regularly reporting back on your activities, managing and regularly monitoring a dedicated Facebook page/online presence.
The deadline to apply is 1 April 2016, 12.00 midday (Brussels time).
Please don’t forget, in a super-competitive graduate job market, a position of responsibility like this could really make you stand out. As well as developing your communication and presentation skills, you can develop your CV with the international perspective future employers are looking for.
We are looking forward to your application!
