The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) has received the Third Place, according to 23 000 professionals, in the recent UNIVERSUM-Most Attractive Employees Awards for the category: Humanities/Liberal Arts/Education.

The Department is proud of this Award seeing that DIRCO was only surpassed by organisations like Google.

UNIVERSUM is the global leader in employer branding and delivers a full range of services in research, strategic consulting and communication solutions that enable employers to better understand, attract and retain top talent.

The research survey indicated that DIRCO is perceived by other professionals as a desired place to work due to aspects like international exposure, training opportunities and travelling.

The work done by the whole Department, particularly DIRCO’s Branches: Corporate Management; Public Diplomacy; and Diplomatic Training, Research and  Development (DTRD), contributed to DIRCO’s strong Employer Brand.
