The work of the EU is wide-ranging, and as such it recruits people with a variety of skillsets and backgrounds – whether that’s Law, Science, Economics, Agriculture, Language or Technology – for rewarding careers in Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg. A great way to get a foot in the door is through traineeships opportunities after college.

Among the most important things to consider when looking to work for the EU, are language skills, as most recruitment competitions require candidates to be fluent in one EU language and proficient in another, and keep in mind that both English and Irish are official EU languages.
