Fresh Perspectives Student Event: A guide to your career in public service and international affairs

At the IIEA’s first in-person student event, ‘Fresh Perspectives: A guide to your career in public service and international affairs’, a panel of young people from diplomacy and public service reflect on their experiences in middle management leadership roles. The panellists offer practical perspectives on how to forge and sustain a career in public life and will also discuss how changes in the geopolitical order are impacting their industries and affect their roles in the future. Geared towards students and young professionals, we hope this panel discussion will inspire young people who are hoping to pursue a career in government and/or international affairs. Panellists include: Luke O Callaghan-White, Programme Manager for Climate, Energy & Sustainability at Friends of Europe (based in Brussels) Amy Stapleton, Policy Officer, European Migration Network Ireland, Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) Kevin Culligan, Desk Officer, International Security Policy Unit (EU Common Security and Defence Policy), Political Division, Irish Department of Foreign Affairs Aine Earley, Administrative Officer at Department of Finance Recorded on the 29th of March 2023
