Twice a year, the Commission offers five-month paid, administrative or translation internships. For each period, the Commission’s Traineeships Office determines the exact number of trainees to be attributed to each Directorate General, Service and Agency, depending on the budget availability and the existing conditions (size, absorption capacity, results of the evaluations carried out, etc.).
Important information for candidates

Testimonial
Exciting, friendships, travelling
- 10/2017
- Sweden
- Directorate-General Translation [DGT]
This experience has really changed my life.
I didn't only get to see how the day-to-day work is done by translators at the Commission, but I also got to know a lot of new friends from all over Europe.
You grow as a person and if you want you can travel around in a beautiful part of Europe. Be engaged in the activities and enjoy - it's an experience...
