European Parliament · Brussels, Belgium, Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Strasbourg, France

Paid five-month traineeships in the European Parliament's Secretariat for university graduates. Places are for EU nationals; the rules allow a very limited number for nationals of other countries, in particular EU candidate countries, so chances for Tunisians are small. Next deadline: 31 October 2026, 23:59 Brussels time.
