Compulsory training period as part of a student's studies
Applications
The Council General Secretariat also offers unpaid traineeships to young third, fourth or fifth year students of a higher‑education establishment or university whose programme of studies requires such a period of training to be undertaken.
Selection procedure
During the year the Traineeships Office may consider applications from students of a higher‑education establishment or university that requires them to undertake a traineeship.
The application file for a compulsory traineeship must include:
-
-
a curriculum vitæ;
-
a letter stating the reasons for the application;
-
a legible copy of a passport or identity card;
-
an official certificate from the education establishment certifying:
-
a copy of the diplomas or official certificates held;
-
copies, where necessary, of attestations of professional experience;
-
proof or a substantiated declaration of knowledge of the languages stated on the application form.
Any other optional document in support of your application for a traineeship - such as references, for example - can be included in your file.
Successful applicants will receive an offer by e-mail stating the period of their traineeship and the department to which they will be assigned. When they have accepted the offer, the Traineeships Office will send them a contract.
You will not be admitted unless you supply the complete file as mentioned above.
