Traineeships at the European Commission

The Commission organises twice a year in-service training periods lasting five months for university graduates.
This does not exclude those who, in the framework of lifelong learning - have recently obtianed a university diploma and are at the beginning of a new professional career.

The training periods start on 1 March and 1 October each year.

The purpose of in-service training is in particular:

to provide them with practical knowledge of the working of Commission departments;
to enable them to acquire personal experience by means of the contacts made in the course of their everyday work;
to enable them to further and put into practice the knowledge they have acquired during their studies and in particular in their specific areas of competence.
