As always, the full list of EU vacancies closing in the next seven days is at the bottom of this email.

This week’s spotlight

The EU traineeships programmes offer recent graduates a chance to increase their professional skills, expand their network and enhance their knowledge of the EU.

Traineeships (or internships) offer a great insight into the work of the EU civil service and are available in a wide range of fields: law, human resources, environment, communication, finance, data protection, scientific research, foreign policy, intellectual property, along with many others.

From the European Parliament, to the European Commission, the Council of the EU, the European Court of Auditors or the EU agencies, the institutions and agencies organise traineeships typically for five months.

In order to apply for a traineeship, candidates must have a university degree. Once recruited, trainees will perform tasks similar to those of lower grade administrator staff.

The majority of traineeships are paid, usually around €1,200 a month.

Find out more details and how to apply on our dedicated traineeships page.

You can also check our EU Careers Ambassadors programme for students interested in promoting EU careers in their university campuses.

A word from our team

There is another option to enter the EU civil service. Any candidate with prior EU experience is highly preferred. Typically, this refers to previous EU work. But experience as a trainee is the second best option. And EU traineeships are actually paid (as mentioned above). So, if you are starting your career journey soon after finishing your studies, consider a traineeship with an EU agency as one option 🙂
