Traineeship Europees Economisch en Sociaal Comité

Twice a year the European Economic and Social Committee offers traineeships for a period of five months to university graduates.

These periods of in-service training offer an opportunity to learn about the EESC's roles and activities and to acquire professional experience in a multicultural environment. They begin on 16 February and 16 September of each year and take place in the Committee's offices in Brussels.

As the EESC receives far more applications than places available it is important:

• That you carefully read the provisions regarding traineeships at the European Economic and Social Committee
• That you complete the on-line application form correctly and receive a registration number.
• Please be aware that for security reasons this form is not accessible with Safari 5.1.10 on a Mac version 10.6.8. Also some older browsers might be blocked. Please make sure that you use a recent version of your web browser.
• That you respond to emails from the European Economic and Social Committee accurately and on time.
• That you do not contact (either by e-mail or by telephone) any of our services but you should first wait until you receive an answer from us.

If your application is pre-selected, you will receive an email informing you about this and at that point you will be asked to upload copies of relevant documents (university diploma(s), and identity card or passport). It is not necessary to have certified copies made of your university degree certificate(s). Candidates who are not in possession of a university diploma can send a letter provided by the university stating that they have successfully completed a level of education corresponding to a university degree of three years study. Please note that your application can be updated as long as your status is "application registered". Please do not send your documents if you are not invited to do so in a separate email.

Candidates selected for a traineeship will at a later stage be asked to submit originals of an extract of the police record, as well as a medical certificate (trainees have to prove that they are medically fit to serve during the training period). Make sure that you keep copies of all documents sent to the training office.
