Traineeships - FRA

Institution/Agency: (FRA) European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights

One of the aims of the traineeship at the FRA are to allow trainees to contribute to the Agency’s mission in helping to make fundamental rights a reality for everyone in the EU.

The traineeship is offered to recent university graduates (at least one month before starting the traineeship) and persons who would benefit from initial work experience, without excluding those who have recently obtained a university diploma or are at the beginning of a new professional career.

To be eligible for a traineeship, you must also have completed your most recent studies no more than three years prior to the deadline for applications.

To be eligible for a traineeship at FRA, you must meet the following conditions:

• Be a national of one of the Member States of the European Union (27), EEA countries (3) or EU candidate countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, and Ukraine) or potential candidate countries (Kosovo);
• Have a very good knowledge of English, the working language of FRA (B2);
• Have completed university studies (obtained a degree diploma) by one month prior to the start date of the traineeship (i.e. no later than 1 September 2025) and no more than 3 years prior to the start date of the traineeship.

The trainee will be required to work on a full-time basis at the FRA premises in Vienna. One position is located in Brussels, Belgium. For this position, the grant is adjusted to the salary coefficient applicable in Belgium.
