Traineeship scheme (paid), Committee of the Regions

cor-logoThe Committee of the Regions (CoR) is the political assembly that gives a voice to the regional and local levels in EU policy development and legislation. The Treaties oblige the European Commission, Parliament and Council to consult the CoR whenever new proposals are made in areas that affect the regional or local level. The CoR can adopt opinions on its own initiative and present these to the European Commission, Parliament and Council. Every year, CoR offers a limited number of university graduates a five-month traineeship. Each trainee is assigned to a specific department of the CoR. The nature of the work depends largely of the unit. Some units are more politically oriented, others are more administrative.
