FÁS campaign to encourage US immigration to Ireland
FÁS is to launch a campaign in New York to highlight the opportunities of living and working in Ireland, it was announced today.
The exhibition will open on Friday, October 20 and will provide information on the key topics for those considering making the move to Ireland.
“This exhibition will provide essential information to those living in the States which will help them make an informed choice about moving to Ireland,” said event director Gregory Craig.
“The Ireland of today is very different from the Ireland which they left behind – visitors to the exhibition will be updated on the real issues which will affect them and their families including taxation, pensions, health insurance and education.”
Among the exhibitors lending advice will be the Department of Social and Family Affairs, the Construction Industry Federation, The Western Development Commission (WDC), the Irish Revenue Commissioners; Enterprise Ireland, VHI Healthcare and FÁS Jobs Ireland.
The WDC will be highlighting the lower cost of living, competitive property prices, job prospects and quality of life in the West.
“Jobs Ireland New York is a fantastic opportunity for Go West to actively recruit immigrants to move across the Atlantic to Ireland’s first port of call from the States,” said WDC Dr Patricia O’Hara of the WDC.
“Many business based in the west are actively seeking skilled and experienced staff in the international services, manufacturing, medical devices and the public sectors.”
The FÁS Jobs Ireland Exhibition will take place at the Affinia Manhattan Hotel, 7th Avenue at 31st Street, 371 Seventh Avenue, New York.
