Explore career paths

EU institutions, bodies, and agencies provide a variety of career opportunities tailored to your professional goals and educational background.

You can pursue career paths that will make the most of your abilities and/or your previous work experience whether you enter the EU institutions with a broader profile – often called a generalist – such as lawyer, economist or public administration graduate, or a more specific – called a specialist profile – such as scientist, technician, financial officer, doctor or translator.

Whatever your background, you could contribute to work on major issues such as climate change, economic development, digital communication, migration or employment, just to name a few.
