Who we are
The Directorate-General for Internal Policies of the Union (DG IPOL) is responsible for organising the work of the Parliament’s committees dealing with the EU’s internal policies, and for assisting Members in the exercise of the legislative, budgetary and oversight powers conferred upon the European Parliament.
We are the Secretariat of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE), one of the largest committees in the European Parliament. ITRE's policy remit is both wide ranging and rich in content. As a result, ITRE offers trainees a true cross-cutting experience that covers Union energy, research and innovation, industrial, space and telecoms/digital policies. Each of these areas is an essential component of the Union's internal market and has a direct impact on the life of its citizens. ITRE Committee has a wide legislative portfolio. Trainees in ITRE will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the legislative process inside the Parliament, all the way from the drafting phase right up to vote and adoption in Plenary.
Your tasks
Our trainee will be tasked with summarising proposals, attending and reporting back on conferences and workshops to the Head of Unit and Administrators, drafting preparatory documents, conducting research, and compiling and drafting various information notes for the Administrators and Head of Unit.
Our trainee will regularly attend Committee, Coordinators’ and Shadow Rapporteur meetings.
You are
We are looking for a pro-active and motivated candidate who is able to work both autonomously and within a team. Our chosen trainee will be able to integrate quickly in the Secretariat and maintain good relations with all colleagues.
We wish to recruit a reliable, efficient and dedicated colleague looking to make the most of this exciting opportunity. The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills in English, as this is our main working language.
