I'm looking for work in Ireland, blue collar stuff, and I'm not sure where to start. I just graduated from Highschool. Does anyone know of any abroad programs or something that could help me? by the way I live in America.

If you want to get a job here your goin to have to have atleast some form of higher education qualification and even then your chances are slim but try anyway you might get lucky! Irish job site: http://www.jobs.ie/

Unemployment of youths under 25 is somewhere in the region of 25%, with 14% unemployment overall. There is currently mass emigration from the country, with a huge number of young Irish people unfortunately being forced to looking to leave the country to find work(including myself). A large number of Irish people have gone on to some sort of 3rd level education, with many people with even postgraduate education being unemployed. To make a long story short: 1) Chances of you getting a work visa are slim to none. 2) Your only hope is to wait until the economic position in the country improves. 3) or to go further in your education and get yourself into a career that is in demand in the country. 4) Or perhaps looking to study on a student visa, it would be expensive, but would allow you to better yourself in education, as well as being allowed to work up to 20 hours a week(if you can find a job)

Listen love, we are still reeling from the economic fallout of last year, and Irish people are having trouble getting work here, so I don't fancy your chances at all. Do a search on non-EU nationals coming to Ireland for work on Yahoo Answers. Don't be too disappointed if you don't find what you are looking for.

Sadly there are no jobs in Ireland right now. My advise to you is read your newspapers, Google "recession Ireland" or look through the hundreds of similar questions in the "Discover" section of Y!A. Tens of thousands of our college graduates have emigrated to Canada and Australia to find work as there are no jobs here and another 50,000 are due to leave this year. There are not likely to be any jobs for the foreseeable future. Companies are going bust every day and laying off workers. My partner has been out of work for 16 months. Times are very tough. The way the situation is now there are no jobs for Irish people let alone Americans. To move here you need a confirmed job offer and Irish/EU nationals are given preference for any job vacancy as a rule unless it is a very specialised role and the only suitable candidate is from outside the EU. Why not try Canada seeing as its right next door to America
