For two months, 29 young people participated in the innovative internships programme launched by the European Union in partnership with the Government of the Republic of Moldova. They worked together with the civil servants, being guided in their daily activities by the EU High Level Advisers. Interns were hosted by a wide range of state institutions, including the State Chancellery, the Presidential Administration, Ministries of Infrastructure and Regional Development, Education and Research, Justice, Foreign Affairs and European Integration, Environment, but also Customs Service, National Anticorruption Centre, the National Bank and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The festive ceremony marking the end of the Programme, which took place on 26 August, was chaired by the Moldovan Prime Minister Natalia Gavrili\u021ba and the Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova J\u0101nis Ma\u017eeiks. The Prime Minister expressed her conviction that this has been a useful experience under the guidance of the EU High Level Advisers and civil servants. ‘Civil service is the key element for the development of a country \u2013 the decisions taken here influence the quality of life and wellbeing of all citizens. We hope that, after graduation, you get actively involved in the decision making in state institutions by choosing a career in the public sector.<\/em>\u2019 According to the EU Ambassador, \u2018This has been a visionary programme, supported by the Government and the EU HLAs from the very first day. We are glad to learn that many of the interns are planning to start a career in the public service and work for the benefit of the country. The EU will keep supporting the young generations of Moldova with this type of initiatives in the future.<\/em>\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
