Pracovní stáž u Evropské Komise[1] is an internship programme providing official in-service training with the European Commission.[2][3][4][5] Aimed at young university graduates,[6] it has been running since 1960 and is the biggest internship programme in the world.[7] Traineeships, which start in October or March and last five months,[8] are carried out in a Directorate-General or a service of the Commission, in a Commissioner's Cabinet, or in some of European Union's executive bodies and agencies.[9] The programme is managed by a dedicated Traineeships Office within DG EAC, with an annual budget of €7 million,[7] that runs a selection procedure to recruit approximately 600 trainees (also called Blue book stagiaries) for each traineeship period.[10]

Selection procedure[editovat | editovat zdroj]

Administrative traineeships (i.e. all traineeships except those with Directorate-General for Translation) consist of the following steps:[11]

  • Application (deadline at end of January/August)
  • Eligibility (decision made before end of April/October)
  • Preselection (decision made in June/November)
  • Selection (decision made in July/January)
  • Traineeship (start in October/March)

Applicants who advance into the Selection phase are listed in a database called the (Virtual) Blue Book from which European Commission officers entitled to having a trainee are free to choose their candidates. On contacting them, the details of the traineeship are agreed upon. Approximately 2 500 candidates get into the Blue Book for every traineeship period, of whom around 600 are recruited as trainees.[12]

As an exception, Directorate-General for Translation applies its own eligibility criteria to what are called translation traineeships, and there is no preselection. The rest of the procedure, however, is the same as for administrative traineeship.[9]

Working conditions[editovat | editovat zdroj]

Each trainee is assigned to an adviser who acts as a mentor.[13] Trainees work full-time, according to same rules as European Civil Servants (although unlike them, they are considered "external staff") and are paid a monthly living allowance equal to 25 % of the basic remuneration for an official at grade AD 5/1.[14] Their travel costs to the place of appointment and back home are reimbursed during the last month of the traineeship.[15] It is up to the trainee to find accommodation near the place of appointment.[16] Most trainees are based in Brussels, a large group is situated in Luxembourg, and a few work in London (EBRD, DG ECFIN), Ireland (DG SANCO), and in European Union's delegations in member states and abroad.[9]

Statistics[editovat | editovat zdroj]

Starting with 3 trainees in 1960, by 1983 their number had reached 500, and in 2010 about 1 200 trainees were recruited (the two traineeship periods counted together). During the first 50 years of its history (1960–2010), more than 40 000 trainees have participated in the programme. The highest number of trainees has come from Italy (almost 4 500), the lowest number from Malta (around 50). Almost 3 500 trainees came from non-EU countries. Approximately 70 % of trainees are female.[7]

Typický stážista (v roce 2009) měl 26 let, hovořil čtyřmi jazyky a má dva vysokoškolské diplomys.[7] V říjnu 2011 traineeship has seen a total of 10 424 applicants, out of which 9 349 were nationals of EU member states. From them, 652 were recruited as trainees. Most trainees come from Italy (73), and 44 recruits are non-EU citizens.[17]
