🌍 EU Careers Student Ambassadors 🎓 Promote EU Career Opportunities at Your University — 2026/2027 Academic Year 🌍
Are you a university student, an EU citizen, enthusiastic about the European Union, and looking to build real work experience, public speaking skills, and a pan-European network — all while still studying? EPSO, the European Personnel Selection Office, is inviting students to become EU Careers Student Ambassadors for the 2026/2027 academic year. As an ambassador, you will represent EU career opportunities on your campus, organise events and presentations, maintain an online presence, and act as the go-to contact for fellow students interested in working for EU institutions. In return, you will receive full induction training, coaching, the chance to meet high-ranking EU officials, and a reference letter based on your performance. Application deadline: 18 March 2026.
🏛️ Did You Know? EPSO — the European Personnel Selection Office — runs one of the most competitive recruitment processes in the world. Each year, tens of thousands of candidates from across the EU apply for a limited number of positions in EU institutions. EU Careers Student Ambassadors are often among the best-prepared candidates when they later apply themselves, having spent a full year inside the process.
What Will You Do as an Ambassador?
📣Act as the primary point of contact for students at your university who are interested in EU career opportunities — answering questions and providing up-to-date information on EU jobs
🎤Give presentations, attend university career fairs, and help bring interesting speakers to your campus to raise awareness of EU institutional careers
📱Maintain an active online and social media presence to promote EU career opportunities among your student community
📋Set up mailing lists, research target student groups, and distribute information about EU jobs through the most appropriate channels on your campus
🌐Build and develop a university-level network connected to the broader EU Careers Ambassador network across Europe
📊Keep a log of your activities, report back to your EU Careers coordinator regularly, and participate in all online training activities provided by EPSO
What Will You Gain?
🎓Full induction training and ongoing coaching throughout the role — from EPSO directly
🏛️The opportunity to meet high-ranking EU officials as part of your ambassador activities
📄A reference letter based on your performance at the end of the ambassador year — a valuable credential for any future EU career application
💼Real, CV-boosting work experience in public speaking, marketing, human resources, and event organisation
🤝Access to an exciting pan-European student ambassador network connecting universities across the EU
🧠In-depth knowledge of EU career paths, recruitment processes, and institutional structures — invaluable if you plan to pursue an EU career yourself
