Become an EU Careers Ambassador!

As part of an exciting new initiative to promote careers with the EU institutions we are looking for student representatives from top academic Universities across Europe.

We are looking to find one student to become our 'Ambassador' and promote EU Careers on your university campus.

Your role would involve:

·  Giving presentations on EU Careers to your fellow students

·  Coordinating events

·  Targeting university networks to spread the message on EU Careers

·  Putting up posters and handing out leaflets to those interested in an EU Career

So what's in it for you?

Expenses will be covered by us.

Secondly, a position of responsibility like this will look great on your CV! Acting as an EU Careers Ambassador, with all the responsibility that is entailed, you will develop many of the qualities which are highly valued by graduate employers.
