If you are looking to focus on certain policy areas, you may find that the depth of information that is out there is overwhelming. I am working on a talk/lecture tailored to Translation students or translators starting out on focusing on certain EU policy areas, based on my own experience from over a decade translating at the FMA.
The idea is to create a very practical and interactive talk or presentation, which could also be delivered as a number of shorter presentations, including a hands-on workshop, as well as to should how to leverage EUR-LEX for building up terminology and translation memories.
