Overview

The European Union Intellectual property Office (EUIPO) is committed to the future and offers valuable learning opportunities for young people at the start of their careers. This scheme gives young professionals first-hand experience of the work of the European Union (EU) and the opportunity to participate in intellectual property administration.

Details

Our traineeships give young graduates and professionals a chance to sample work at EUIPO and be part of a multicultural team.

Successful candidates will be selected on the basis of their qualifications, professional experience and the quality of their CVs and motivation letters.

We will draw up a reserve list, and candidates on the list will be contacted if places become available. All applicants will be informed of the outcome of the selection process.

Traineeships for young professionals

This traineeship programme is intended to provide young professionals with practical experience of the European Union in general and the EUIPO in particular as well as to enable them to put into practice knowledge acquired during their studies and first professional experiences, and in particular in their specific areas of competence.

It is open to young professionals from both EU Member States and non EU countries:

  • Who have completed successfully at least the first cycle of a higher education course certified by an official document from the University before the selection procedure starts.;
  • with a working knowledge of one of EUIPO's five working languages (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish), equivalent to level B1 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages;
  • and who preferably have a good knowledge of another official EU language.

 Applying for a traineeship

Candidates have to apply for the traineeship position through the e-recruitment tool published on the EUIPO official website within the open application period. Applicants must provide all of the supporting documents required, electronically scanned and attached to the online application.

Who we are

Whether you are in trade, manufacturing or services, registering your trade mark or design makes business sense.

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), which was known as OHIM until 23 March 2016, can provide you with exclusive rights for trade mark and design protection throughout the European Union (EU) with just a single application.

But we offer much more than just registration: we are a European Union agency with a global focus. The EUIPO works in partnership with national and regional EU intellectual property offices, user groups, the European Commission, the European Parliament and other international organisations.
