C & E Europe: Council of Europe - Traineeship Opportunities Posted on Saturday, May 27 @ 04:28:10 PDT
Topic: Training
Application deadline: September 15, 2006 (Due to the high volume of
applications to process, it is strongly advised to apply at least one month
before the deadline)
The Council of Europe’s traineeship scheme consists of a three-month period:
candidates can choose between: January to March, April to June and October to
December. The Council of Europe does not organise any traineeships during the
summer period. We would also like to specify that we do not offer traineeships
in translation and interpretation.
Who can apply ?
- Nationals of one of the Council of Europe's member states
- Persons who have completed their higher education or have successfully
completed at least three years of university study (six semesters)
- Candidates from national administrations or private firms who wish to find out
about, learn more about or specialise in a particular field of the Council of
Europe's activities. They must have performed duties requiring knowledge of
university level for at least two years
- Trainees must have a very good knowledge of one of the Council of Europe's
official languages (English and French). A good knowledge of the other is
desirable
- Good drafting ability required.
Selection
Trainees are selected by the Human Resources Department, in agreement with the
departments to which they are assigned, following the principle of fair
geographical distribution.
Duties
The duties to which trainees are assigned include research, the preparation of
draft reports and studies for meetings of experts and the drafting of minutes.
They may also be required to assist with current work. We would like to specify
that we do not offer traineeships in translation and interpretation.
Conditions
Trainees are usually not paid. Costs of travel and accommodation, as well as
living expenses, are the responsibility of trainees or their sponsoring
institutions. By the decision of the Committee of Ministers, remunerated
traineeships may be offered - in a restricted number - to nationals of Central
and Eastern European member States.
