ELSA offers traineeships to gain practical experience in an international legal environment at law firms, NGOs, institutions and other organisations around the globe. Candidates can choose an in-site or online traineeship.
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.
Requirements
ELSA traineeships for:
- Law students
- ELSA members, locally and nationally
- External applicants
On-site/Online
On-site Traineeships require the Trainee’s physical presence throughout the Traineeship period. This may require the Trainee to relocate and travel internationally. Many of the on-site Traineeships offered have flexible dates, i.e. offer-holders may negotiate directly with the respective Traineeship Provider when it is suitable and possible to start in the applicable circumstances.
Online Traineeships are like “normal” on-site Traineeships but they can be done remotely from a location of the Trainee’s choice (e.g. the Trainee’s home couch).
Like on-site Traineeships, online Traineeships are supervised and the Trainee receives mentoring and feedback from the Traineeship Provider throughout the Traineeship period.
Benefits
- Monthly remuneration that differs based on the type of the traineeships;
- Discounts on Flixbus, EnhanCV, Spotahome, Accor, Diversity travel;
- Certificate at the end of the internship.
Deadline: 30 April 2026
