This paid internship in Europe provides real and practical work experience within the European Commission and its agencies. The programme offers around 1,000 traineeship positions in each session, and there are two sessions every year. Selected trainees receive a monthly living allowance adjusted according to their place of assignment. Depending on eligibility and the assignment location, trainees may also receive a €275 travel allowance, a meal and public transport allowance, or an accommodation allowance.
The programme offers two types of traineeships: administrative traineeships and translation traineeships. Administrative traineeships allow participants to support research, policy development, and organisational activities. Translation traineeships are offered by the Directorate-General for Translation, where trainees translate official documents into their native language from at least two EU languages.
Most trainees work in Brussels or Luxembourg, although some placements may also be available in other EU offices and agencies. During the traineeship, participants develop strong communication and teamwork skills while working in a multicultural environment. This experience helps them understand how EU institutions operate and strengthens their future career opportunities.
