Twice a year, Cedefop ( European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training), http://www.cedefop. europa.eu/ offers five-month periods of in-service training for young university graduates or public sector employees from the Member States of the European Union and a number of nationals of non-member countries. These training periods involve work experience in one of the departments of Cedefop. They start on 1 March and 1 September each year.
