I expect them to be finished by the end of this week. In the previous years, mails about whether one was accepted went out end of November/early December from what I can tell. Also, I looked up Facebook groups of EESC trainees and found that around 40 people were in them for each year. So I guess the number will be in that order of magnitude this year as well.

Thank you for the answers, So there will be be around 25 out of 40 pre-selected being accepted for the internship? I have counted the trainees in the photos of the previous sessions on fb and they have around 25 each session

The 40 I referred to were the total number of accepted trainees. For instance, the group 2017 had 34 people in it and the 2018 groups had almost 50 people in it : https://www.facebook.com/groups/979096688861945/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1995280087152164/

I guess it will be somewhere in between the 25 which you counted and the 34-50 which were in the groups in the previous years.

Yeah it is. I was just worried an hour ago cause the tab "documents" is not there anymore (where we had to upload the files and also were able to look at them again).

Hi! I'm chipping in Smile
I'm pre-selected for this internship, but my status hasn't changed in the portal so far. Does anyone know if we will get notified if we didn't make the final cut? As in, will the status in the portal change from pre-selected to e.g. "reserve list" or something of that sort?

I'm not so sure whether they'll also update the status if we are not being selected. But chances are that at least one of us (in this forum) is going to be selected, so I guess if the lucky ones write here, the unlucky ones will at least know that they have not been selected. I really hope we all make it bounce

That was just a speculation. If you look at the second last post from last year (https://ec-traineeship.forumotion.com/t1050-eesc-february-2018-traineeship?highlight=eesc), someone mentioned that their eligibility check status did not change, while others (the last person) received a confirmation for the final selection on the same day.

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but is pre-selected and eligibility check the same thing? I sent them all the required documents on the 10th of November, and my status still says "pre-selected - awaiting documents". I really hope they'd let us know if we made it to the final selection...

For now these two are the same I think. They pre-selected a number of individuals and are now checking whether the information we provided can be substantiated with valid documents. The fact that it still says "awaiting documents" can be disregarded I guess. If the documents are valid, then we move to the last round where a final selection is made and if we are part of this selection, I guess we have made it and will of course be informed about it. If the documents are invalid, I am note sure whether a status update will be posted. If the documents are valid, but we have not been selected, I am also not so sure whether we'll receive an update about it. This is based on how I understand the system and how they are working, doesn't mean that it has to be all correct.

Makes sense. So currently we're waiting for an email telling us our documents were deemed valid? I'm not sure how strict they are when it comes to the document requirements, I was a bit stressed about this since they asked them to be be "stamped and signed" but neither one of my previous employers even owned a stamp with their company logo so they only put a logo header and a signature... Or am I overthinking this now? Very Happy

I am pretty much in the same situation. I managed to get all the stamps and stuff, but realized that I had one copy paste error in the initial application. I am also unsure how strict it is going to be, but we'll have to see. Regarding the mail, I am really not sure whether we would get an email for the invalid documents. My gut tells me that they'll just be sending out emails/changing the status for those that have been selected. I hope it happens by the end of this week, but yeah.. That's all just gut feeling, with no rational reasons to explain it.

Hi,
I hope someone in the forum is able to help me with it.

As I am applying to the EESC traineeships, now I am unsure about whether they will ask about language certificates. They did not put it on their website, but I am afraid that they would do so.
Does anyone know what exact documents they will need for the pre-selection stage?

Thanks
