people with disabilities as trainees.

People who want to become a trainee

or September 2021 to January 2022
must write their application

If you need reasonable
accommodation
you can send an email.

Reasonable accommodation means
that someone may need
to change something
at your workplace
or give you support
to make your work fit
your disabilities.

Reasonable accommodation
can mean something different
for every person with disabilities.

Also you need to
send proof of your disability
to the same email.

The email address is
reasonable.accommodation@consilium.europa.eu

to be a trainee because
the way people work has changed.

People work in different ways now to
keep each other safe
from the Coronavirus.

unknown
when people can start work as a
trainee.

to be a trainee because people may
not be able to travel to Brussels.

The Council of the European Union
will tell people
who want to become a trainee

when they can be a trainee
and how they can be a trainee.
