EU Youth Guarantee to promote labour market inclusion for young people
Two new reports explain how young people’s entry into employment can be supported through skills development, either through continued education or traineeships. The reports are based on real-life experiences over the first five years of the Youth Guarantee.
According to the first report on “Continued Education Offers under the Youth Guarantee”, the best way to ensure young people acquire the skills they need to succeed in work and life is to prevent early leaving from education and training. In this respect, Vocational Education and Training (VET) can be a good alternative for young people and in particular work-based learning.
The second report, “Traineeships under the Youth Guarantee” demonstrates how gaining initial professional experience during a traineeship can benefit both employers and young people, leading to better matches between skills and jobs. However, traineeships need to be meaningful and well-structured to increase the likelihood of successful integration into regular work.
