5th and 6th year students had a very interesting visit to The European Commission Representation in Ireland recently. We were treated to a very informative presentation about the EU with topics chosen in advance to specifically cater for some of the LC Business Course. Students had an opportunity to ask questions and were encouraged to give their opinions on matters such as CAP, the Directives currently affecting Ireland and the topic of Energy was high on the Agenda.
Students were given information regarding the various career opportunities that exist for Irish students in the European Headquarters in Brussels and opportunities for work experience at the other Representative Offices around Europe.
A quiz followed for which we were certainly prepared. Nicola was extremely impressed by the knowledge displayed by our Business students.
The European Commission Representation in Ireland serves as the Commission’s voice in Ireland, aiming to communicate EU affairs at both national and local level. It’s mission is to engage with Irish citizens, institutions, and stakeholders, providing information about EU policies, initiatives, and programs.
It informs citizens about European elections, such as the upcoming elections on 7th May 2024.
