“I recently joined the Council with only little experience in translation, but solid language skills from my studies and previous job. The EU institutions and Brussels were unknown territory for me. However, the butterflies I felt before arriving were swept away by the warm welcome by colleagues and a well-organised onboarding programme. Since my arrival, we have received another three new colleagues of different genders, ages and backgrounds and I’m happy to see that they have all integrated just as smoothly as I did thanks to the inclusive and professional working environment in the Danish language unit.”
