The European Union is part of our everyday lives, offering countless opportunities for growth. Involving young people and their ideas in EU decision-making is a key priority. One major initiative is Your Europe, Your Say!

Languages are essential to human connection and, within the EU, they underpin both its legislative process and its democratic system.

The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) offers young graduates exciting opportunities to gain international experience. Beyond internships, participants can enhance their skills, broaden cultural horizons, and grow personally while contributing across the EU and partner countries. Applications are simple and accessible online.

The European Commission offers a five-month traineeship to hundreds of recent graduates from both within and outside the EU.

After years of study, you can put your language skills into practice at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation.

It’s a chance to experience the institutions from the inside, work in a dynamic environment, and contribute to EU communication across all official languages.
