The Junior Professionals Programme (JPP) is a Commission programme, aimed at better integrating junior staff working at the Commission into EU civil service, including a selection based on an assessment on the job and pre-selection by Commission DGs or Executive Agencies. 

Eligible candidates shall have a maximum of 3 years of professional experience, and working at the European Commission or in an Executive Agency at the time of the closing of the present call.

Blue Book trainees from the Commission DGs and Executive Agencies, provided they fulfil the eligibility criteria set out in the call for expressions of interest (e.g. maximum years of work experience), are eligible to join the JPP. 

Staff and Blue Book trainees from Institutions or Bodies other than the Commission and the Executive Agencies do not fall under the scope of this programme.  

For this reason, Blue Book trainees from decentralized agencies and other Institutions are not eligible for the programme. The full list of Commission DGs and Executive Agencies included in the JPP scheme is available at the following link.

Nevertheless, Blue Book trainees who are not eligible for the JPP programme can still find other career opportunities on the following sites: 

• EU Carees the European personnel selection office (EPSO)
• Temporary jobs at the European Commission
