Since 2023, the Ombudsman implements a positive action programme for trainees with a recognised disability.

Trainees in the Ombudsman's Office must necessarily have a very good command of the English language.

Applications must therefore be submitted in English. For the same reasons, the documents concerning traineeship applications are only available in English.
