EUROCONTROL Skyline Traineeship programme

EUROCONTROL is an intergovernmental organisation with 41 States, committed to building, together with its partners, a Single European Sky that will deliver the air traffic management (ATM) performance required for the twenty-first century and beyond.

If you’re looking for a place that values your curiosity, passion, and desire to learn, you have found your great first work experience. As an international organisation, we offer you a multicultural and stimulating environment where you learn from our experts in various fields: aeronautical engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, cyber security, business, law, human resources, and communications, & more.

To be eligible for any of our traineeship, you must comply with all of the following conditions:

• Nationality: You must be a national of one of the EUROCONTROL or ECAC Member States.
• Education: You are currently studying for a post-secondary educational qualification (Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD level). If you have graduated, the traineeship must start within one year after your date of graduation.
• Language skills: Our working languages are English and French. To do a traineeship, you will need to have a good command of English (both written and verbal). Knowledge of French is a great asset, but not always a must.
• No previous traineeships longer than 6 months at EUROCONTROL: If you have previously completed a traineeship with EUROCONTROL lasting less than 6 months and are still within 1 year of completing your studies, you remain eligible for an additional traineeship period of up to 6 months. However, this extension is not applicable if a previous traineeship has already exceeded 6 months or if you have completed your studies more than 1 year ago.
