Human Resources Unit - Post A

The Directorate-General for Logistics and Interpretation for Conferences (DG LINC) is the multilingual conference service hub of the European Parliament. Our mission is to enable the European Parliament to achieve its political objectives, in particular in core activities related to legislative, budgetary and scrutiny functions. DG LINC provides a professional and user-oriented organisational framework to meetings and conferences including linguistic, technical and logistical support to meetings. DG LINC helps Members of Parliament get their message across in all official languages, making the legislative process accessible to citizens. It enables Parliament to further reach out to citizens with the capacity to organise conferences and cultural events outside part-sessions in Parliament’s seat in Strasbourg.

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 challenges and are customer-minded, then 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 recruitment, staff matters, training, document management and administrative follow-up of missions. The Human Resources Unit has a dynamic and friendly team of 12 colleagues, operating in a multicultural environment.

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.
