If you are a citizen of an EU country and you speak good English or French plus another EU language, this might be an interesting adventure for you. We offer paid traineeships, unpaid compulsory traineeships and a paid positive action programme for trainees with a disability. All are available for people with various education profiles.

The benefits? See how the EU works from behind the scenes, join in the work backstage, and make new friends from all over the EU.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 still affects the way we are currently working in the Council. Whether traineeships take place as planned will depend on measures taken by the Belgian authorities.

Check out the traineeships website where you can find more details, a link to the application form as well as testimonials from our former trainees. Who knows, perhaps we’ll see you next year?
