Interns Visit Moldovan Parliament and Discuss with Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu 

Interns participating in the two parallel Internship Programmes — one funded by the European Union and the other by the national budget, visited today the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova as part of their institutional learning experience. 

During the visit, the interns met with the President of the Parliament, Igor Grosu for an open discussion and exchange of views. The dialogue focused on the role of young professionals in driving public sector reform, advancing Moldova’s European integration, and strengthening civic engagement. Igor Grosu praised the interns’ determination and encouraged them to see themselves as future civil servants and leaders capable of meaningful changes, underlining that Moldova needs a new generation of professionals, committed to building a more transparent, efficient and citizen-oriented public administration. 

This visit is part of the capacity-building component of the Internship Programmes, offering students, master’s students, and recent graduates the chance to obtain valuable experience in public administration, while also participating in training sessions, informal dialogues and direct exchanges with high-level officials. Interns who successfully graduate the Programme can access civil service positions without competition or probation period.  

Interns are currently gaining hands-on experience in key public institutions—such as ministries, the State Chancellery, the Presidential Administration, the National Bank and the National Anticorruption center —working alongside civil servants and EU experts for two summer months and benefiting from a monthly scholarship of 200 euros funded by the European Union.
