Traineeships at the Committee of the Regions

Each year, the CoR offers young university graduates a limited number of five-month traineeships. These training periods involve work experience in one of the Committee of the Regions' services, and run from 16 February until 15 July (spring traineeships) or from 16 September until 15 February (autumn traineeships).

The purpose of the organisation of traineeships in the CoR is:

to provide a first-hand experience of the workings of the CoR and of the EU institutions in general;
to provide practical knowledge of the working of its departments;
to work in a multicultural and multilingual environment;
to enable trainees to have the opportunity to organise a study visit to a European local or regional authority, in connection with the Committee’s political priorities;
to enable trainees to develop and put into practice the knowledge they have acquired during their studies or personal careers.
