In addition to the standard traineeship scheme, the Positive Action Programme for trainees with disabilities offers an additional pathway for those with long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments. </p><p>The ECA offers two traineeships per year to EU nationals with a recognised disability. </p><p>We are currently accepting applications for traineeships in all our areas of work: audit, translation, communications, general administration, IT and library management. We particularly welcome applications from candidates in the fields of IT audit and data science. This is part of our ongoing efforts to improve our use of technology and data in audit and are looking for trainees with the vision and ideas to make a real impact in these areas. </p><h3>Reasonable accommodation</h3><p>By “reasonable accommodation” we mean any appropriate measures, where needed, allowing people with disabilities to work on an equal footing with others, unless these measures would place an undue burden on the employer. </p><p>The ECA can modify equipment, practices or policies on a case by case basis. </p><p>If you are selected as one of our trainees, we will contact you to discuss any specific needs you may have and ensure that you have all the necessary software, hardware, or ergonomic equipment from the beginning of your traineeship.</p><p>We also contact the ECA team that hosts our trainees to prepare for your arrival and your time with us. </p><p> <br> </p><ul class="nav nav-tabs nav-justified mt-3" role="tablist"><li class="nav-item" role="presentation"> <button type="button" class="nav-link active" id="traineeships3-tab1-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#traineeships3-tab1" role="tab" aria-controls="traineeships3-tab1" aria-selected="true">Sessions</button> </li><li class="nav-item" role="presentation"> <button type="button" class="nav-link" id="traineeships3-tab2-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#traineeships3-tab2" role="tab" aria-controls="traineeships3-tab2" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">Allowance</button> </li><li class="nav-item" role="presentation"> <button type="button" class="nav-link" id="traineeships3-tab3-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#traineeships3-tab3" role="tab" aria-controls="traineeships3-tab3" aria-selected="false" tabindex="-1">Eligibility</button> </li></ul><div class="tab-content mb-5"><div class="tab-pane fade active show" id="traineeships3-tab1" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="traineeships3-tab1-tab"><h3 class="mt-4">There are two traineeship sessions at the ECA, covering the following periods</h3><ul><li> <time datetime="04-01">1 April</time> to <time datetime="09-30">30 September</time> (of the same calendar year);<br> </li><li> <time datetime="10-01">1 October</time> of one calendar year to <time datetime="03-31">31 March</time> of the following year. </li></ul><p>Within these two sessions, individual traineeships may last between 3 and 6 months. </p></div><div class="tab-pane fade" id="traineeships3-tab2" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="traineeships3-tab2-tab"><h3 class="mt-4">Allowance</h3><p>During your traineeship, you will receive an allowance of €2 000 per month.</p></div><div class="tab-pane fade" id="traineeships3-tab3" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="traineeships3-tab3-tab"><h3 class="mt-4">Eligibility</h3><p>Are you eligible to apply?</p><p>To be eligible to apply for a traineeship under the Positive Action Programme for trainees with a disability, you must:</p><ul><li>be a national of an EU member state;</li><li>have completed at least four semesters of university study in a field relevant to our work;</li><li>have very good knowledge of one official EU language and satisfactory knowledge of a second;</li><li>have a recognised disability.</li></ul><p>As part of the application, you will need to provide <strong>proof of your disability</strong>.
