The European Commission organises an in-service training period twice a year, lasting five months, for university and vocational education and training (VET) graduates.

This does not exclude those who, in the framework of lifelong learning, have recently obtained a university diploma and are at the beginning of a new professional career.

The training periods start on 1 March and 1 October each year.
