Praktikad ja programmid

Our traineeships offer a unique opportunity to learn about how the European Parliament works and get practical knowledge on the functioning of our political group. Throughout their traineeship, trainees are supervised by an Administrator from our Secretariat.

 

What we offer

Five months paid traineeships

We offer five-month traineeships to EU citizens and candidates from associated and candidate countries. In addition, we also grant traineeships by way of derogation to a limited number of nationals from other countries.

This type of traineeship is addressed to young people who have a university degree or have completed three years of study (at least six terms) at a university or an equivalent institute of higher education.

The EPP Group covers the cost of living in Brussels with a monthly allowance of €1.500.

Unpaid, short-term traineeships of a maximum length of 3 months (when the traineeship is compulsory in the framework of the university studies)

This type of traineeship is addressed to university students who have not yet completed at least six terms at university and when the traineeship is a compulsory part of their studies. This has to be justified by a letter provided by the university. The EPP Group can offer a limited number of this type of traineeship.

Moreover, the EPP Group has a compulsory, primary sickness and accident insurance for trainees. All trainees get to attend one plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

Programm Noor Erasmus MP

Meie noortele parlamendiliikmetele mõeldud programm Noor Erasmus Young Member’s Network (YMN) kannab kahte eesmärki: tuua kohalikud ja Euroopa taseme poliitikud kokku ning luua noorte poliitikute võrgustik Euroopa tuleviku edendamiseks.

Programm võimaldab sõsarerakondadel näha, kuidas EP töötab ning kuidas luuakse EL seadusi. Osalejad veedavad ühe nädala Brüsselis, töötades koos noorte EP saadikutega kindlaid teemasid jälgides. Nad võtavad osa fraktsiooni ja komisjonide koosolekutest ja täiskoguistungitest ja kohtuvad otsustajate, valijate ja meedia esindajatega. See on ainulaadne võimalus jagada mõtteid ja luua isiklikke kontakte.

Kui oled huvitatud, kirjuta:

epp-youngmembers@europarl.europa.eu, ja võtame sinuga ühendust.

Programmis osalejale kaetakse majutuse ja reisikulud.
