Ten graduates to be appointed for Internship Scheme in EU institutions

Focused on the provision of opportunities for graduates to acquire work placements in the specialised subject field of translation and proofreading, the Internship Scheme in European Union Institutions will go ahead again this year.

The scheme commenced in 2018 and this year it is hoped that ten graduates will be appointed and undertake work experience in the autumn. Eight of the graduates will assist in the translation of European Union legislation and laws – primarily the acquis communautaire – during the work placement. Two of the graduates will undertake work in the proofreading of Irish language documents under the supervision of the Publications Office or the European Parliament.

An allowance of €2,000 per month will be made available for the internships for a period of ten months.

The announcement was made by the Government Chief Whip and Minister of State for the Gaeltacht and Sport, Jack Chambers, T.D. Applications via email, which opened on Tuesday, 3 May, will be accepted until 12 midday on Tuesday, 17 May 2022.

Completed application forms must be sent to Mairin.NiFhlatharta@tcagsm.gov.ie before midday on Tuesday, 17 May. Further information regarding the scheme is available at www. gov.ie
