The European Commission has announced the launch of the Europa Blue Book traineeship programme, offering a unique opportunity for young professionals to gain hands-on experience in the EU’s institutions.
The programme provides a comprehensive training experience, allowing trainees to work in various departments and agencies, including the European Commission, European Parliament, and European Council. Trainees will have the chance to contribute to policy-making, project management, and research initiatives, while developing valuable skills and expertise.
The European Commission proposes 2 types of traineeship: an Administrative Traineeship or a Translation Traineeship with the Directorate-General for Translation (DGT).
The traineeship programme is open to all eligible candidates whatever their citizenship, regardless of their sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, religion or belief, membership of a national minority, disability, age or sexual orientation. Trainees work all over the European Commission, its services and agencies, mostly in Brussels, but also in Luxembourg and elsewhere across the European Union.
Key Responsibilities of trainees:
- Attending and organizing meetings, working groups, and public hearings
- Researching, drafting and editing documentation – including reports and consultations
- Answering citizens’ inquiries
- Supporting the management of projects
- Translating, revising translations or researching terminology.Â
