The Nordic Logistics Association (NLA) is looking for a committed and enthusiastic intern in Brussels from 1 September 2022 to 31 January 2023.
Are you passionate about European politics and interested in the transport sector? Is social media communication one of your skills? And are you keen on working for better conditions for hauliers in Europe? Then we would like to meet you.
One of the biggest challenges and opportunities of the coming decades is the transition to a climate-neutral Europe. The intern will therefore work on legislative proposals affecting the transport sector in a wide range of areas, including transport, environment and energy. In addition, the labour market and the digital agenda are areas that NLA follows closely. The intern will have the opportunity to work independently and take responsibility in these areas.
The intern will work in an international environment in the Common Office in Brussels that NLA shares with its German (BGL) and French (FNTR) sister organisations.
Working tasks:
- Write newsletters, update website and generate activity on NLA’s SoMe platforms.
- Research and analysis of studies, EU policy initiatives and more in collaboration with colleagues in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
- Participate in meetings with European transport stakeholders.
- Report from meetings in the European Parliament, stakeholder organisations and conferences in Brussels.
- Ongoing administrative tasks.
The ideal candidate:
- Can navigate the EU bubble.
- Is interested in politics at European and national level.
- Is currently undertaking a degree in social sciences, economy, law or related.
- Has good writing and oral skills.
- Is fluent in English and one or more Nordic languages. Knowledge of other EU languages is a plus.
- Thrive on handling large, long-term project assignments.
- Is comfortable with busy and often hectic days with a variety of tasks.
We offer:
- Monthly contribution of 900 EUR to rent and other expenses.
- Coverage of travel costs, as well as a round trip during your stay.
- Practical experience of working in the EU system.
- An interesting, dynamic, informal and international workplace with the opportunity to challenge yourself in national and European contexts.
