It was made of gold and covered in diamonds and other precious stones.🐰In Finland, it&#39;s tradition to go &quot;mämmi&quot; hunting on Easter.

After successfully completing the Cadet Training Course in the Cadet School, Military College, an Army Cadet is commissioned into the Officer Ranks of the Army as a Second Lieutenant (2/Lt) or Lieutenant (Lt). <h3>Who we want</h3>Officers are the leaders, decision makers and managers of the Defence Forces. A Line Officer leads, directs and motivates our frontline troops. The role comes with very real mental and physical challenges, with Officers being expected to lead from the front in all situations. Officer Cadets or trainee Officers engage in 17 months training in the Military College covering many basic and practical soldier skills and military fields of study before taking up an operational appointment in the Permanent Defence Forces. The Defence Forces is looking for people who have the potential to:<ul><li>Plan, prioritize and organise</li><li>Analyse problems, in order to generate appropriate solutions</li><li>Be clear, concise and with effective communication skills</li><li>The ability to motivate others and work with a team</li><li>Can you do all of this while working in a high pressure, mentally and physically demanding and environment?</li></ul>After completing Officer training, cadets are commissioned into a Service Corp — Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry, Transport or Communications Information Systems.As a young Officer many more opportunities for development, growth, variety, and responsibility will come your way.<h3>Qualifications</h3>To find out if you have the Minimum Qualifications required to apply for a Cadetship in the Army.Take Note: Additional education qualifications may be required during a Cadet Competition and these will be listed in the Terms and Conditions for that competition.<h3>Age Limitations</h3>Be 18 years of age or over and under 26 years of age on the date mentioned in the notice for the current competition.<h3>Induction</h3>The Cadet Competition is held annually and is the only way for potential candidates to join the Defence Forces to become an Army Line Officer.

To benefit from that training, which is conducted in an environment of strict discipline, the cadet needs mental acuity and physical agility. During 17 months of training an Army Cadet masters basic military skills, such as rifle marksmanship, as well as developing the leadership skills required of an Army Officer. On commissioning the new Officer takes up a leadership position in one of the Army Corps.<h3>Third Level Education</h3>Personnel who have successfully completed their Officer Cadet training and who have not previously attained an Honours Bachelor Degree (Level 8 of the National Framework of Qualifications) or equivalent may be assigned to a course of study leading to a degree at National University of Ireland, Galway or a course of study leading to a degree at some other third level college of education.<h3>Career Progression</h3>Commissioning is just the start of an Army Officer’s career. Once assigned to an Army Corps a Young Officer will undertake a number of courses to become a fully qualified officer of that corps. The Young Officer must also adjust to the new responsibilities of commanding and training troops.<h3>Pay</h3>Cadets receive a salary from the day they are enlisted. On receiving a commission and depending on whether they are commissioned as a Lt or 2/Lt the payscale changes from that of the cadet.

3,000th female apprentice milestone reached as Minister Harris launched new campaign to encourage more to register.<a href="https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/a9bf2-3000th-female-apprentice-milestone-reached-as-minister-harris-launches-new-campaign-to-encourage-more-to-register-this-international-womens-day/#find-your-apprenticeship"></a><h2>Minister Harris welcomes apprentice milestone</h2>Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris has announced the 3,000th female apprentice registration.This important milestone was reached as Minister Harris launched a targeted campaign to engage with girls’ schools across Ireland.The campaign highlights:<ul><li>the growing participation and leadership of women in apprenticeship</li><li>building exciting careers</li><li>women’s participation and leadership across industry sectors</li><li>how this opportunity is available to every girl’s school in the country</li></ul>Speaking at an apprenticeship Q&amp;A event to mark International Women’s Day at Our Lady’s School, in Terenure, Dublin, Minister Harris said:<blockquote>“I’m delighted to announce that we have broken through the 3,000 milestone for apprenticeship registrations by women since 2016. It is encouraging that the rate of registrations is accelerating year on year. And the choice of programmes is growing each year, there are 66 apprenticeship programmes now available and later this year we are due to have up to 10 more programmes launched, for quantity surveyors, in horticulture, in farming and a further expansion of tech options.</blockquote><blockquote>“Everyone should have access to these opportunities, and know all the facts, not least all of our young women in school. I am delighted that the National Apprenticeship Office is proactively spreading the word with young women at second level.”</blockquote><h2>Tipping point for enterprise</h2>Director of the National Apprenticeship Office Dr Mary-Liz Trant said:<blockquote>“It is an honour to be back in my old school as the first Director of Ireland’s National Apprenticeship Office. It is wonderful to be starting our ‘Facts, Faces, Futures’ campaign this morning on International Women’s Day 2023 in Our Lady’s School.</blockquote><blockquote>“We are at a tipping point with the enterprise community in Ireland where it is no longer a choice between further or higher, male or female, it is just about talent and the quickest and most reliable way to access it. This is why we have so many new career routes on offer through apprenticeship and why it is more important than ever that girls and women have clear information and signposting.”</blockquote>As part of today’s celebrations, Minister Harris addressed some of Ireland’s future female talent at the school, encouraging students to avail of the excellent opportunities that apprenticeships offer to build 21st-century skills for life, and support their career goals and aspirations.<h2>Facts, Faces, Futures campaign</h2>Three key messages from Facts, Faces, Futures.<h3>Facts</h3>Apprenticeship is packed with diverse role models and women’s success stories and growing numbers of women apprentices and graduates of the apprenticeship route.<h3>Faces</h3>Women are employers, chefs, craftspeople, cyber security specialists, international financial analysts, creators, team members, and leaders. You can be too.<h3>Futures</h3>More and more girls and young women in school can take inspiration from these role models, seeing what they can be and shaping their future careers.The ‘Facts, Faces, Futures’, campaign aims to give school communities, family groups, groups of friends and the whole of society a different way of thinking about apprenticeship.<h2>Increase in woman apprentices</h2>Up until 2016 there were less than 30 women choosing the apprenticeship route annually. However there has been a significant rise in the number of women building careers with 370 women apprentices registering in 2019 and 966 women apprentices registering in 2022.<h2>Find your apprenticeship</h2>We have some apprenticeship opportunities listed <a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/jobs?search=apprenticeship">HERE</a>Trainee opportunities listed <a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/jobs?search=trainee">HERE</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/jobs?search=apprenticeship"></a>SOURCE: <a href="https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/a9bf2-3000th-female-apprentice-milestone-reached-as-minister-harris-launches-new-campaign-to-encourage-more-to-register-this-international-womens-day/">HERE </a>

New Campaign to Encourage more Women to Register for Apprentices

The way we work has changed &amp; just like everything, working from home has both positives and negatives attached!It is easy to leave your desk in the evening feeling drained after a hard day at work, only to realise that your smartwatch has registered less than 1000 steps across the whole day! Keeping active at work does not have to be back-breaking or time-consuming, but every minute that we DO move is a minute well spent.There are many ways to incorporate movement into your daily work-from-home routine, here are a few of our tried and tested favourites:🚶🏽‍♀️Walking Meetings: Where possible, take a walk while discussing business over the phone - this can be a walk around your house, garden, or apartment complex - you may even suggest the same to your colleagues - Specialists say that you need just 30 minutes of walking every day to improve your cardiovascular fitness - all movement is good movement! 🏃🏽Mini-Breaks: Popping to the kitchen to put the kettle on? Why not try some light on the spot jogging while you wait for the kettle to boil, or see how many times you can touch your toes!🧍🏽‍♂️Standing: Try to incorporate standing into your working day, you may have a kitchen counter or similar area where you could stand to work for even a small amount of time each day.🌳Get Outside: Just because you are working from home does not mean you have to stay at home: ➡️ Book an exercise class for after work➡️ Plan an after-work walk ➡️ Walking for 15 minutes during your lunch break adds up to 1 hour and 15 minutes of extra activity to your working week - small changes can make a big difference. 🌅Create a Morning Plan: Taking away the commute is one of the pleasures of working from home, don&#39;t let this precious time go to waste - plan to get active for at least 20 minutes each day before work, you will never regret it &amp; you will enjoy that morning coffee so much more!👚Dress accordingly: If possible, dress in a way that leaves you ready to get active whenever you get a chance. Comfortable clothing can leave you feeling more prepared to exercise when the time is right!⌚Break It Down: For a lot of us &#39;work from homers&#39;, time is still scarce and many of us have extra responsibilities including children/pets / older family members, etc. If your time feels limited, consider the 15 minutes you spend scrolling on social media or reading blogs 😅 could you use these moments to get more active?

Minister Harris announces more than €40 million in supports for 405 new student accommodation beds at DCUFrom <a href="https://www.gov.ie/en/organisation/department-of-higher-education-innovation-and-science/">Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science</a>Published on 7 March 2023Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris has today announced a State investment of more than €40 million to support the delivery of 405 student accommodation beds in DCU.The funding was agreed at Government today, which also noted there is work ongoing with UCD, Trinity and UCC on similar projects, and will support the Housing For All strategy.Speaking today, Minister Harris said:<blockquote>“At the heart of this policy is a commitment to deliver more student accommodation. This is a policy departure for the State but we firmly believe an investment in student accommodation is an investment in our young people.</blockquote><blockquote>“By increasing the number of beds available, we are helping more people access accommodation and also helping to relieve some of the pressures in the housing market.</blockquote><blockquote>&quot;I really want to thank the President of DCU Daire Keogh and his team for their commitment and for working with us to provide this project. This follows similar success with University of Limerick, University of Galway and Maynooth University. And we will continue to work with others to get these projects over the line and delivering for the higher education sector.</blockquote><blockquote>“My department and I are working on a strategic policy and methodology for state supported student accommodation provision which I will update Government on by the end of June. This policy approach will acknowledge the importance of appropriate supply and affordability of student accommodation for our higher education sector in meeting the increasing student numbers and realising the commitment of government as set out in Housing for All.”</blockquote>Up to €41 million has been allocated for the new beds as part of the government initiative to activate purpose built student accommodation projects with planning permission.This is Phase 1 of the work with DCU.DCU President Professor Dáire Keogh said:<blockquote>&quot;Dublin City University warmly welcomes this major investment by the government, which enables us to press ahead with ambitious plans to construct accommodation for an additional 400 students on our Glasnevin campus.</blockquote><blockquote>“This construction of purpose-built, on-campus accommodation will alleviate the pressures on students, free up housing for families and support the Housing for All policy.</blockquote><blockquote>“We are grateful to Minister Harris for his determined leadership on this issue and hope that this project will provide a model for similar housing solutions on Higher Education campuses nationally.&quot;</blockquote>This funding will add 405 beds to the 667 new beds approved by Government last November.ORIGINAL SOURCE; <a href="https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/a51e2-minister-harris-announces-more-than-40m-in-supports-for-405-new-student-accommodation-beds-at-dcu/">https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/a51e2-minister-harris-announces-more-than-40m-in-supports-for-405-new-student-accommodation-beds-at-dcu/</a>

Industry-led groups (consortia), work with education and training providers and other partners, to oversee the development and roll-out of new apprenticeships.New apprenticeships in ICT, finance and hospitality include software development, accounting technician and commis chef.Apprenticeship feesGenerally, an apprentice does not pay fees. However, apprentices pay a pro-rata registration fee (student contribution) if their off-the-job training takes place within a college such as an Institute of Technology or Technological University. The registration fee is generally based on the amount of time the apprentice spends in the college. You can find information about the pro-rata registration fee on apprenticeship.ie.
Apprenticeship wages and allowancesRates of apprenticeship wages and allowances can vary depending on the type of apprenticeship and the industry you have chosen:Apprenticeships developed before 2016: While you are training on the job, your employer will pay you a recommended apprenticeship wage. The ETB pay a weekly allowance equivalent to that wage while you are training off the job. In some cases, the ETB will contribute to your travel and accommodation costs. You can get information about off-the-job training payments and allowances for craft apprentices.Apprenticeships developed in 2016 and after: Your employer will pay you for the duration of the apprenticeship. The rate of pay is agreed between you and your employer.Annual leave: Your statutory holiday entitlements continue to accrue during the off-the-job phases, but must be taken during the on-the-job phases at times agreed with your employer.Apprentices who have children: Working Family Payment (WFP) is a weekly tax-free payment for employees with children. If you are an apprentice and you have at least one child you may qualify for WFP, if you meet the conditions for WFP.Other allowancesYou should check with your employer or local ETB if you are entitled to any allowances such as a tool allowance. You should also check if you qualify for employment tax credits and reliefs.How to qualify for an apprenticeship To be eligible for an apprenticeship, you must be at least 16 years of age and have a minimum of grade D in 5 subjects in the Junior Cycle or equivalent exam. However, higher educational qualifications and other requirements may be required by employers.If you don&#39;t have these qualifications, you may still register as an apprentice with an employer if you:- Complete an approved preparatory training course followed by an assessment interview.- Are over 18 years of age and have at least 3 years of relevant work experience, in which case you will also be asked to do an assessment interview.💻 You can view some Apprentice Opportunities <a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/jobs?search=trainee"></a>on the Generation Apprenticeship website <a href="https://apprenticeship.ie/career-seekers/jobs">HERE</a><a href="https://apprenticeship.ie/career-seekers/jobs"></a>You should also research yourself for opportunities in your local area by googling &quot;Apprentice Motor Mechanic&quot;, &quot;Apprentice Electrician&quot; etc and by checking the careers pages on large companies in your area that normally have trades people employed.

DUBLIN ZOO RECRUITMENT DAY FOR SEASONAL JOBS

Approval for 11 biodiversity officers to bring national total to 2511 local authorities have been awarded funding to appoint biodiversity officers to drive local action for biodiversity conservation. This will bring to 25 the total number of biodiversity officers in local authorities across Ireland, following last year’s approval for the appointment of a further ten officers.The 11 new positions are expected to be filled by September 2023 while a full national rollout is expected to be completed within the next 2 years.A list of local authorities to appoint new biodiversity officers is provided below.The programme is being delivered by the Heritage Council and the County and City Management Association (CCMA) with the support of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the National Parks and Wildlife Service.The announcement follows a commitment in the Programme for Government to tackle the climate and biodiversity crisis, following the Dáil’s declaration of a Biodiversity Emergency in 2019, and the Citizens Assembly on Biodiversity Loss in 2022.In addition to developing a Biodiversity Plan for their area, the new biodiversity officers will advise the local authority on biodiversity related issues and the authority’s obligations in relation to protecting biodiversity. They will help local authorities to fully integrate biodiversity conservation into all of their policies, plans and actions, through training and provision of expert advice.Commenting on the development, Minister of State for Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan, said:“The appointment of another 11 biodiversity officers is further evidence of our commitment to addressing the biodiversity emergency and fulfilling our objectives as set out in the Programme for Government. These biodiversity experts are exactly the people we need at local authority level to engage local communities and to take practical action to conserve and restore wildlife species and habitats. I look forward to working with them shortly and to moving towards a full national rollout in the coming years.”Chairperson of The Heritage Council, Dr Martina Moloney, said:“The Heritage Council is pleased to be partnering with the County and City Management Association (CCMA), to deliver this programme with the support of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Through the appointment of these biodiversity officers, we are prioritising a community-based approach to biodiversity and habitat restoration. The blend of local knowledge and evidence-based science has been very effective in the design and delivery of local heritage plans, and will ensure that local action for biodiversity will focus on the drivers of biodiversity loss, local priority species and habitats, and policies and actions at local level to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.”Virginia Teehan, Chief Executive of The Heritage Council, said:“It is appropriate that we are making this announcement on World Wetlands Day, an international day of celebration for wetlands all over the world. Across Ireland, our peatlands play such a pivotal role in helping to mitigate the effects of climate change, and the permanent voice that these new appointees will bring to local authorities is a gamechanger in our efforts to confront these challenges and the other biodiversity challenges ahead.”John Mulholland, Chair of the CCMA Rural Development, Community, Culture and Heritage (RCCH) Committee said:“The County and City Management Association is delighted to support this important Biodiversity Officer Programme. The expertise of Biodiversity Officers strengthens significantly our efforts at local authority level to protect and encourage appreciation of biodiversity in our areas. Already biodiversity officers are making a marked difference in their local authority areas. This additional resource commitment will further assist the local government sector to build on our ambition to integrate biodiversity considerations across all of our operations and strengthen our capability to address biodiversity loss and promote climate action in our work and in our communities.”11 local authorities have been awarded funding to appoint biodiversity officers to drive local action for biodiversity conservation.

Careers at Belfast International Airport

The topic of whether salary information should be disclosed on job ads has been a contentious issue for some time. On one hand, some argue that including salary information in job ads can help attract qualified candidates, create a more transparent hiring process, and reduce wage disparities. On the other hand, others argue that not including salary information can help employers avoid discrimination and bias, and allow them to negotiate salary with candidates based on their qualifications and experience.One of the main arguments for including salary information in job ads is that it can help attract qualified candidates. When job seekers are searching for job opportunities, they often have a specific salary range in mind, and if a job ad does not include salary information, they may assume that the salary is not within their desired range and move on to another opportunity. By including salary information in job ads, employers can ensure that they are attracting candidates who are truly interested in the position and are a good fit for the company.Another argument for including salary information in job ads is that it can create a more transparent hiring process. When salary information is not included in job ads, candidates may feel like they are being kept in the dark about important information and may be less likely to trust the employer. By including salary information in job ads, employers can demonstrate that they are being transparent about the compensation for the position and are committed to treating candidates fairly.In addition, including salary information in job ads can help reduce wage disparities. When salary information is not included in job ads, employers may be able to offer lower salaries to certain groups of candidates, such as women or people of color, without them knowing. By including salary information in job ads, employers can ensure that all candidates are aware of the compensation for the position and are able to negotiate accordingly.On the other hand, some argue that not including salary information in job ads can help employers avoid discrimination and bias. When salary information is included in job ads, employers may be more likely to offer lower salaries to certain groups of candidates, such as women or people of color, without them knowing. By not including salary information in job ads, employers can ensure that all candidates are offered the same compensation for the position and are able to negotiate accordingly.Another argument for not including salary information in job ads is that it allows employers to negotiate salary with candidates based on their qualifications and experience. By not including salary information in job ads, employers can ensure that they are offering competitive salaries to candidates based on their qualifications and experience, rather than simply offering a set salary for the position.In conclusion, whether salary information should be disclosed on job ads is a complex issue with valid arguments on both sides. On one hand, including salary information in job ads can help attract qualified candidates, create a more transparent hiring process, and reduce wage disparities. On the other hand, not including salary information can help employers avoid discrimination and bias, and allow them to negotiate salary with candidates based on their qualifications and experience. Ultimately, the decision of whether to include salary information in job ads should be based on the specific needs and goals of the employer and the industry in which they operate.According to a new survey of recent and upcoming US post-secondary and recent graduates, 85% reported they are &quot;less likely to apply for a job if the company does not disclose the salary range in the job posting.&quot;Employers that don&#39;t share pay ranges in a job posting may lose out on talent from soon-to-be and recent graduates.According to a new survey of recent and upcoming US post-secondary and recent graduates, 85% reported they are &quot;less likely to apply for a job if the company does not disclose the salary range in the job posting.&quot;That&#39;s according to<a href="https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2023/01/24/adobes-future-workforce-study-reveals-what-next-generation-workforce-looking-for-in-workplace"> Adobe&#39;s Future Workforce Study</a>.

Finding a job can be a challenging and overwhelming process, but with the right approach and mindset, it is possible to increase your chances of success. Here are some tips and strategies for finding a job in today&#39;s job market:Start by identifying your strengths and what you have to offer. Take the time to reflect on your skills, experiences, and accomplishments. Consider what you enjoy doing and what you are good at, as well as what industries or types of jobs may be a good fit for you. Create a strong resume and cover letter. Your resume should highlight your relevant skills and experiences, and should be tailored to the specific job or industry you are applying to. Your cover letter should introduce yourself and explain why you are interested in the position and how your skills and experiences make you a good fit.Network and seek out job leads. Networking is an important part of the job search process, as many jobs are not advertised publicly. Connect with people in your field of interest and ask for recommendations or introductions to potential employers. Attend job fairs, industry events, and career workshops to meet potential employers and learn about new job opportunities.<img src="https://jobalert-blog-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/image/JobAlert%20Blog%20Banner.png" alt="undefined"></img>Use online job search resources. There are many online job search websites and databases that can help you find job openings in your field. Some popular options include <a href="www.jobalert.ie">JobAlert.ie</a>, LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor. These sites often allow you to search for jobs by location, industry, and job type, and may also allow you to upload your resume and apply for jobs directly.Prepare for job interviews. Once you have found a job opportunity that interests you, it is important to prepare for the job interview. Research the company and the specific job you are applying for, and practice common interview questions with a friend or career counsellor. Dress appropriately, arrive on time, and be sure to bring copies of your resume and any other relevant documents.Follow up after the interview. After the interview, be sure to follow up with a thank-you note or email to the interviewer. This is a good opportunity to reiterate your interest in the position and highlight any relevant skills or experiences that may have come up during the interview. Be persistent and keep trying. The job search process can be frustrating, and it is common to face rejection or to have to apply for many jobs before finding the right fit. Don&#39;t get discouraged, and remember to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. With persistence and a positive attitude, you will eventually find a job that is right for you In Conclusion, the following tips can help you to find a job!1.    Start by making a list of the types of jobs that interest you. Consider your skills, passions, and values, and think about how they might align with certain careers.2.    Update your resume and cover letter. Make sure they are clear, concise, and free of errors. Include any relevant work experience, education, and skills that make you a strong candidate.3.    Network with friends, family, and professionals in your desired field. Attend job fairs and industry events, and join relevant professional organizations to make connections and learn about potential job openings.4.    Use job search websites and job boards to find openings that match your interests and qualifications. Tailor your application materials to each job, highlighting your relevant skills and experiences.5.    Consider taking on internships or part-time jobs to gain valuable experience and make connections in your desired field.6.    Practice your interview skills. Research common interview questions, and consider practicing with a friend or career counsellor.7.    Be open to entry-level positions and be willing to learn and grow on the job. Sometimes, getting your foot in the door is the most important step toward a successful career.8.    Don&#39;t be afraid to negotiate salary and benefits. It&#39;s important to have a clear understanding of what you are worth and to advocate for yourself during the hiring process.9.    Be persistent and don&#39;t get discouraged. Finding a job can take time, but staying positive and continuing to search and apply will increase your chances of success.10. Consider seeking the help of a career counsellor or coach. They can provide guidance and support as you navigate the job search process.At JobAlert.ie we are passionate about helping Jobseekers.
