Welcome to the Trainees' Committee website!
Our mission
The Trainees' Committee plays two main roles:
-
We represent trainees working at the European Commission to the Traineeships Office, the Directorate-Generals (DGs) and other partners
-
We support the Traineeships Office to inform trainees, to maximise the traineeship experience and to promote a spirit of collaboration
The committee also liaises with the trainees' subcommittees to assist with the organisation of a range of social activities.
We are in frequent contact with the porte-paroles of each Directorate-General to stay informed of any specific issues and to diffuse information. Finally, we reach out to external partners to prepare activities and negotiate discounts for trainees.

There are five permanent subcommittees renewed each session:
