What opportunities are there?

There are so many opportunities for work, travel, volunteering and studying in Europe. Some of the opportunities that are included in the guide are listed below.

European Solidarity Corps
The European Solidarity Corps is an EU volunteering programme that provides support and funding for young people to spend some time doing voluntary work in their own country or abroad in projects that benefit communities and people.

EURES
The EURES Network was established by the European Commission to help European citizens find work in another country of the European Union (EU) / European
Economic Area (EEA). EURES Ireland has a network of EURES advisers, who can give you information and advice on your job search in Europe and help you to contact European employers.
They can also give you more general practical information on living and working conditions in another EU/EEA country, for example social security, information on pay levels, taxes, recruitment practices or provide pre-departure and on arrival advice.

EURES Targeted Mobility Scheme
The EURES Targeted Mobility Scheme (TMS) is a European Union job mobility scheme which offers financial assistance to EU citizens aged 18+ who are relocating for work or travelling to an interview in another EU country, Norway, or Iceland.

Supports include:

• financial allowances for travel to an interview and/or relocation to another country for work
• language training allowance (if required), family support, supplementary and recognition of qualifications allowances
• information on living and working abroad

You must apply for financial support before you leave your country and before the starting date of your new job/interview date. You cannot apply after you have moved to your new country of work.
