And also, is there anyone who applied for EEAS and SG in the department level, and got the offer?

To be honest, I am unsure whether it was possible to apply to specific units? I only applied to the main DGs. Congratulations to those who secured one and don't lose hope yet!
To those who got one - what are the documents that we need to submit now? And do we need to do anything else apart from accepting the offer on the website where we initially applied? Is it the thanks for help

Yes me!
I sent an email to the TO and they said the selection is still going and advised to be patient because we will get the results this week.
Which DGs are your priorities? Maybe it depends on the DG

Hi guys does anyone know if the offer we just got (and the letter of acceptance that gets generated) is the same as a contract? Or are we expecting more documents? Just because I will have to declare this to my government.

Hello guys,

did anybody get an offer from EACEA? It wasn't among my prefered DGs, so I have no idea how the whole process works. How many interns are approximately gonna be in one DG?

Hello again everyone and congratulations to those who received offers!

I took a look at the rules governing the official traineeship scheme and it is stipulated that "in exceptional and duly justified cases, after agreement with the recruiting Directorate General or Service, the date of commencement may be deferred, as long as the minimum traineeship period of 3 months is respected".  Does anyone know anything further on that? Are you aware of any cases of selected trainees completing a 3-month traineeship period instead of a 5-month? To your understanding the request for a deferment should be made before the offer is issued or after the results have become final?

Apologies for asking too many questions.  I'm in trouble because of my job contract this is why I'm examining this alternative.

Thank you!

Hey guys,
I was selected for DG ECFIN. I just have two questions:
1. What are the next steps after the official confirmation? Do you know what kinds of documents they will ask us to send?
2. Do you think it is appropriate to write a "thank you e-mail" to the head of unit who selected me?

Thank you in advance and congratulations to all the people who received an offer.

Hi guys, anyone here that's been accepted for a traineeship in Luxembourg? What are you planning to do about accommodation? So far, from what I've seen it is a nightmare, prices are over the roof and everyone warns you there's a lot of scammers on the market. Anybody willing to look for a shared apartment together??

Hi everyone, I have been offered a traineeship in DG EAC starting next october. The traineeship office mentioned some other documents to be sent to them in order to go on with the procedure. They mentioned of course the bank account and a "medical certificate", but they weren't able to specify what exact kind of medical certificate I have to send them. Is there anybody who knows anything about this medical certificate?
The traineeship office told me I'd receive all the information "in the following days", but I have to leave on saturday for some weeks and I wanted to prepare all the documents before leaving.
Can someone help me?

So I just received a notification to submit a bunch of information and documents online.
However, almost all of the forms are not working at all or are completely flawed. Its not possible to save and submit the form with your passport details, the field where you enter your BIC number of your bank account is too short for the entire number to fit in and they require your bank to put a stamp and signature on the printed form - which is impossible if you're with an online bank. I mean what the hell Very Happy This is the worst administrative process I've experienced in my entire life. Anybody else with the same issues?

Hey guys,

I just received an email today. It is written there that Online Legal Entity Form has to be done until 8th July. But I just got my email now and today is 11th, do you think they can cancel my traineeship? :/

Thank you for answer.

Mine even says 3rd of July Very Happy I don't think that can be right. And considering that they don't even manage to design their online forms in a way that you're actually able to fill in all of the details, I guess we shouldn't be worried too much about that...

Hi guys! I got selected for the Luxembourg traineeship but am still unsure whether I should accept the offer... Is it super expensive to live there?

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of uploading all the necessary documents but have a question regarding the legal entity form. I uploaded a scan of my German identity card and filled in the corresponding info (identity document number and personal identification number). I was gonna submit the information when I saw that it says you're supposed to use the same identity document (passport or identity card) that you have uploaded in your personal details otherwise the legal entity form will not be valid. I'm pretty sure I submitted a scan of my passport when we were asked to submit all supporting documents in march.

Is that what they mean by "use the same identity document that you have uploaded in your personal details"? So would it be saver to just use my passport again?

I will be doing the traineeship with the Legal service --> Competition unit btw, anyone else in the same unit or in the legal service?

Thanks!

I'm faced with a similar issue as my identity document that I have uploaded in January has been stolen (my wallet was stolen while on holidays just DAYS before having to upload all of this information!!) I sent a question asking if it would be ok for me to upload my passport instead, I hope it will work cause I would be absolutely gutted if this would disqualify me from doing the traineeship!

Hey guys, I just received an offer today! Could I please ask you did you upload a digital copy of a passport photo, taken specifically for this, or just any digital photo that can fit in the requirements? Also, did you opt in for the health insurance provided by the EC? Thank you so much!

Hi folks, I've been selected for a blue book traineeship starting in October 2019 and based in Luxembourg. I got the communication just yesterday, so I'm still up in the air regarding practical aspects such as accommodation and travel arrangements.

I can't hide that I'm a bit worried about the living-cost in Luxembourg. Is there anyone else who got an offer based in Luxembourg too and could be willing to exchange information with me?

My plan is to share a flat/accommodation with other trainees. Is there anyone among you with a similar plan?

Hello all!

I have also been accepted for a traineeship at EASME & am looking for accomodation. The link in the portal "https://www.traineescommittee.com/housing-websites" isn't working, has anyone else had the same issue?

Thanks!
