My Department has no immediate plans to recruit graduates this year given the current moratorium on recruitment that applies across the public service. However, the position will be kept under review on light of business needs and our requirement to meet Employment Control Framework targets.
My Department is actively participating in the JobBridge Internship Scheme which is administered by FÁS. Two internships were completed in January 2012. A further five internships were advertised on the JobBridge website and my Department is currently conducting interviews for these internships.
