Youth Works Hub has reviewed 5 paid traineeships that close on 2 November 2026: four at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy and one at ChargeUp Europe in Brussels, Belgium. The four EUI roles are 12-month traineeships paid €1,540 a month, in web and learning services, systems and networks, academic services and administrative systems, while ChargeUp Europe, an industry association for electric vehicle charging, offers a paid full-time communications traineeship. Three of the four EUI roles ask for a degree in computer engineering, programming, multimedia engineering or information technology. Our guide to how we verify every opportunity explains how we check calls like these.
Each call has its own angle:
🇮🇹 Italy: the Web, Digital & Learning Trainee integrates data sources through web APIs and configures content and learning management systems.
🇮🇹 Italy: the Systems & Networks Trainee supports daily IT operations, from corporate email services to IT infrastructure projects.
🇧🇪 Belgium: the ChargeUp Europe Communications Trainee creates LinkedIn content and infographics and drafts the quarterly newsletter.
🇮🇹 Italy: the Academic Service Trainee helps welcome newly admitted researchers and organise the conferring ceremony.
🇮🇹 Italy: the Administrative Systems Trainee maps and analyses workflows and helps test academic administration systems.
Taken together, the batch suits IT graduates, communications graduates and candidates with relevant experience for an academic service who want paid experience at an academic institute in Florence or an industry association in Brussels. If a year in Florence would be your first long stay abroad, our guide to culture shock and homesickness abroad helps you prepare.
All five traineeships are paid: the four EUI roles at €1,540 a month for 12 months, and the ChargeUp Europe role as a paid full-time traineeship with a flexible hybrid regime. According to Youth Works Hub's review, all five calls close on 2 November 2026.
