ECB Traineeships

The European Central Bank offers traineeship opportunities to students of economics, finance statistics, business administration, law, human resources, translation, etc. Applicants should be enrolled in post-graduate or graduate studies. Very occasionally, such opportunities are also offered to undergraduate students.
These assignments give students an opportunity to put their learning into practice, to gain an insight into the ECB’s activities and operations but also to contribute, directly or indirectly, to the ECB’s mission.
Traineeships are offered for periods of three to twelve months. The work range from research and the preparation of draft reports to the compilation of statistical data and participation in ad hoc studies, etc.
Trainees receive a grant per month, depending on the tasks and on their qualifications.

Various traineeship opportunities may become available throughout the year ECB-wide.
