ELSA Traineeships
ELSA Traineeships is an ELSA programme that offers its members the possibility of having an international experience thanks to the different traineeship vacancies offered all over the world. The program is divided into two cycles: the winter cycle and the spring cycle. ELSA offers both “normal” on-site Traineeship vacancies, which require physical presence throughout the Traineeship period, and online Traineeship vacancies, which are done remotely from the Trainee’s home office.
FAQ
What is ELSA Traineeships?
ELSA Traineeships offers law students and graduates with legal work opportunities in different jurisdictions, in many cities, at various types of organisations. The Traineeships are paid and coupled with the reception whereby the Trainees are welcomed to the country and the city by ELSA.
What requirements do I have to fulfil?
Specific requirements are advertised for each traineeship position, relating to legal knowledge, language and academic achievement. These requirements must be met in full in order for the application to be forwarded. The requirements are different for each position, so there is a traineeship for everyone, even if you are still at the beginning of your education!
Who can apply?
ELSA Traineeships are open for students, graduates and young lawyers who study or have studied law in university. ELSA Traineeships are available for everyone who is a member of an ELSA Group (Local or National).
What does it cost to join the programme?
Absolutely nothing! Participation in ELSA Traineeships is free of charge, you do not pay any fees to ELSA and ELSA does not earn any of your salary.
On-site and Online ?
On-site Traineeships require the Trainee’s physical presence throughout the Traineeship period. This may require the Trainee to relocate and travel internationally.
Online Traineeships can be done remotely from a location of the Trainee’s choice. Like on-site Traineeships, online Traineeships are supervised and the Trainee receives mentoring and feedback from the Traineeship Provider throughout the Traineeship period.
