Junior Professionals in Delegation Traineeship Programme

The European External Action Service (EEAS) and the European Commission (EC) have established a high-level traineeship programme which gives an opportunity to highly qualified junior professionals from the EU Member States to work in the EU Delegations worldwide.

The aim of the programme is to enable young people to gain a first-hand experience in the work of Delegations and an in-depth understanding of their role in the implementation of EU external policies.

Junior professionals can work in one of the 143 EU delegations and can be posted, depending on the nature of their tasks, in the EEAS sections – for political, press and information functions or the EC sections – for aid management, trade, economic issues, etc.

Trainees are entitled to a monthly remuneration package composed of a grant of € 1,419, an accommodation contribution set at € 1,092, and additional contributions towards settling and insurance.

Traineeships will start in September or October 2021.

The deadline is on Sunday 31st January 2021.
