The European Commission organises twice a year in-service training period lasting five months for university graduates.
This does not exclude those who, in the framework of lifelong learning - have recently obtained 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.
Trainees receive a grant of approximately EUR €1.493,36 per month and reimbursement of travel expenses. Accident and health insurance are also provided. Disabled trainees may receive a supplement to their grant.
