Resources Unit - open also for Vocational education qualification holders

The Directorate-General for Cohesion, Agriculture and Social Policies (DG CASP) enables parliamentary committees to carry out their legislative, scrutiny and budgetary functions effectively. Trust, integrity and excellence are the driving values of DG CASP. We are an inclusive and agile team, able to respond to the challenges facing Parliament as one of the EU co-legislators.

The core responsibility of DG CASP is to support the committees dealing with regional development, agriculture, rural development, fisheries, transport, tourism, employment, social affairs and housing crisis in the EU. The targeted service we deliver allows committees to better respond to EU priorities and contribute to policies designed to empower EU citizens in an increasingly volatile world. DG CASP provides committees with secretariats and reliable research analysis. Secretariats offer policy expertise, procedural assistance and the necessary technical tools for all committee activities, including legislative and non-legislative work, meetings, public hearings, workshops and missions.

The Resources Unit of DG CASP manages the resources of the DG, providing related support and strategy advice to the Director-General, the DG’s management and units.

Three teams make up the unit, each specialising in its area of expertise: human resources, finance and communication. The HR team is responsible for human resources management in the DG and for all relevant procedures, including recruitment, training and on-boarding. The finance team manages the financial resources of the DG and provides guidance to all financial actors in the DG. The communication team is responsible for internal and external communication in the Directorate-General, including the management of the DG’s intranet and the organisation of DG events.
