So you can imagine what career opportunities there are. within this world. We have to make people understand two fundamentally: first of all that whoever comes to work for us in the Agency is not necessarily a technician. We are looking for jurists, people specialized in international relations, psychologists, a whole range of professionals .

Then there will be a competition for 50 people with degrees for all the legal part, international relations, management engineers, project managers “.
