The [European Parliament](https://euemployment.eu/glossary/european-parliament/)
Positive Action Programme is a special support action for social groups underrepresented
among the institution’s staff – women, persons with disabilities, persons from ethnic
and linguistic minorities. Succesful candidates are hired for a year as ‘contract
agents’ and the programme can serve as a springboard to longer-term and even permanent
employment. Read here about the[ 2023 EP Positive Action Programme](https://euemployment.eu/european-parliament-positive-action-programme-2023/).
