There are no specific plans to recruit graduates into my Department at this time. However, since July 2011, the Department has employed 4 graduates under the JobBridge (National Internship Scheme). In addition, the Department has received sanction to employ a number of Temporary Clerical Officers to cover various staff absences during the year. The Public Appointments Service has advertised these positions and the competition was open to graduates to apply.
