Human Resources Unit

The Directorate-General for Logistics and Interpretation for Conferences (DG LINC) is the European Parliament’s multilingual conference service hub and a global leader in the field of conference interpretation and management. We support the democratic legitimacy of the Institution by helping Members of Parliament to get their message across in any of the official EU languages, thus enabling the legislative process and making it accessible to the citizens of Europe. This makes DG LINC a very dynamic and collaborative place to work, offering various opportunities for connecting internally and with all those taking part in the legislative process. If you like a challenge and are a team player, DG LINC could be a great place for you to do a traineeship.

The Human Resources Unit is responsible for coordinating the activities of the Directorates, units and services of the DG related to central human resources management such as staff matters, training, document management and administrative follow-up of missions.  It is a friendly team operating in a multicultural environment.

Your main tasks will consist of:

• Assisting the training officer with the design and the organisation of specific trainings;
• Assisting with the reporting of regular internal surveys;
• Supporting ongoing projects inter alia by attending meetings, drafting minutes, analysing data, consolidating results, generating information graphics, building/maintaining database;
• Contributing to some document management related tasks;
• Contributing to certain logistical tasks and in general, supporting the DG in its mission of servicing meetings and conferences.

The traineeship should give you the opportunity to build on the knowledge acquired during your studies and to familiarise yourself with the activities of the European Parliament. Hence, careful attention will be brought to adapt your tasks to your background as far as possible, as well as provide you with opportunities to develop an understanding of the Institution.
