Careers
The EU Administration is like the administration of a European country and
it covers virtually all the responsibilities of a State. Working for the
European Union is challenging. You will not find another organisation like it,
in terms of the work you will be doing and in terms of the genuinely
multicultural environment in which you will find yourself.
Career prospects in the EU Institutions are good. Staff become eligible for
promotion, on the basis of merit and seniority. Throughout the career
structure, there are possibilities for self-improvement in terms of in-house
courses to acquire new language, management and communications skills.
Traineeships in the European Commission
If you are thinking of applying for graduate entry you might first like to
consider spending time gaining valuable work experience on a traineeship with
the European Commission. Competition for places is keen, but this scheme offers
a unique opportunity to find out what working for the Commission is really
like.
The European Commission offers two five-month periods of in-service training
(stages) for young university graduates from the member states of the European
Union and to a number of nationals from non-member countries. These training
periods involve work experience in one of the Commission’s departments.
