PES Talent Bank
The Pan-European Seal Talent Bank (PES Talent Bank) is a new initiative within the framework of the Pan-European Seal Professional Traineeship Programme that puts together interested EU and international organisations, academic institutions, law firms and companies offering top quality traineeships and/or job opportunities with former Pan-European Seal trainees in their field of expertise (IP, finance, IT, consultancy, fashion, automotive, etc.).
The PES Talent Bank provides an online tool that former PES trainees can use to widen the scope of their fledgling careers and consolidate the academic knowledge and professional experience gained from both their university studies and from one of the two offices (EUIPO or EPO).
If you are a former PES trainee and want to create or access your account in the PES Talent Bank, please click here.
