    Youth unemployment: studies

    show apprenticeships and

    traineeships are useful but need

    to be improved

    The dramatically high youth

    unemployment rates in Europe call for

    immediate action by Member States.

    One of the priorities for action is to

    ensure a smooth school-to-work

    transition for young people. Two

    studies, undertaken for the European

    Commission on apprenticeships and

    traineeships in all EU Member States,

    recommend that these schemes

    should be more responsive to labour

    market requirements, better adapted

    to business needs and offer more

    guarantees in terms of quality and

    perspectives for young people.

    The studies' results will provide input

    to the preparation of two Commission

    initiatives by the end of 2012; a draft

    Council Recommendation on Youth

    Guarantees, to ensure that young

    people are either in employment,

    education or training within four

    months of leaving school, and the

    definition of a Quality Framework for

    Traineeships.

    The study on apprenticeships

    recommends that there should be:

    -homogeneous quality standards for

    apprenticeship-type studies;

    -a balance between specific

    occupational skills and general skills

    and competences;

    -the involvement of the social

    partners in the design and

    organisation of apprenticeships, as

    this is an essential factor for their

    success and

    -initiatives taken with students to

    improve the general image of the

    vocational education system.

    The study on traineeships indicates

    that:

    -there is a need for a clear definition

    of traineeships at EU level;

    -where possible, traineeships should

    take place as a part of the study

    curriculum rather than after students

    leave education;

    -a concerted effort should be made

    at both EU and national levels to

    increase the supply of traineeships,

    especially in SMEs;

    -there is a need for some financial

    support to trainees, especially those

    from less privileged backgrounds and

    -steps should be taken to encourage

    open and transparent recruitment

    processes for traineeships.

    The traineeship study complements

    the public consultation on the quality

    of traineeships launched as part of the

    Commission's April 2012 Employment

    Package.

    European Council Conclusions

    At the European Council Summit on

    28th-29th June 2012, Heads of State or

    Government agreed on:

    -tackling unemployment and

    addressing the social consequences of

    the crisis effectively;

    -pursuing reforms to improve

    employment levels;

    -stepping up efforts to increase youth

    employment, to improve young

    people's first work experience and

    their participation in the labour

    market, with the objective that within

    a few months of leaving school, young

    people receive a good quality offer of

    employment, continued education, an

    apprenticeship, or a traineeship,

    which can be supported by the ESF;

    -developing and implementing

    effective policies to combat poverty

    and support vulnerable groups.

    Member States will swiftly implement

    their National Job Plans and develop

    more ambitious and precise National

    Job Plans for the next European

    Semester ones. Member States should

    use the possibilities of financing

    temporary recruitment subsidies from

    the European Social Fund. Boosting

    employment, for both women and

    men, in particular for young people

    and the long-term unemployed, is a

    clear priority. The Council will swiftly

    examine and decide on the proposals

    contained in the Commission's

    Highlights

    "Employment package", putting

    emphasis on quality job creation,

    structural reform of labour markets

    and investment in human capital. It is

    crucial to address youth

    unemployment, in particular through

    the Commission's initiatives on youth

    guarantees and the quality framework

    for traineeships. It is also important

    to promote the reactivation of older

    workers. EU governance, including

    multilateral surveillance of

    employment policies, must be

    improved.

    Council of Europe Adopts

    Resolution for Youth

    The Council of Europe has recognised

    the rapidly rising rate of youth

    unemployment and its consequences

    for Europe as a priority. In a report

    adopted on 28th June 2012 The young generation sacrificed: social,

    economic and political implications of

    the financial crisis the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe

    (PACE) details the dangers facing

    what some are calling the lost generation. Millions of European young people have decided to stop their studies, to

    stop looking for work and to abandon

    themselves in a sort of limbo

    situation. These are millions of people

    weve lost completely for the future generation, for the future of Europe

    and for the development of Europe

    and we should intervene, said Committee on Social Affairs, Health

    and Sustainable Development

    rapporteur Luca Volont. The

    resolution calls on the Council and

    national Parliaments to put youth

    policy high on the agenda and to back

    it with financial commitment

    necessary to make talk a reality.

    European Business Forum on

    Vocational Training

    The first European Business Forum on

    Vocational Training took place on 7th

    and 8th June 2012 in Brussels. It

    focused on "challenges and trends in

    skills and career development of the

    European workforce". Some 330

    stakeholders participated in the

    discussions including representatives

    of businesses (such as Air Liquide,

    Danfoss, Deutsche Bank, Goodyear,

    Louis Vuitton Mot Hennessy, Philips,

    Siemens, Unilever), business

    associations, sectoral organisations,

    chambers, research, VET providers

    and policy makers at European,

    national and regional level. Mr. Jan

    Truszczynski, European Commission Director General for Education and

    Culture, and Mrs. Christine Antorini,

    Danish Minister for Education,

    stressed the role of companies in

    development of skills and

    competences as well as the necessity

    for a greater cooperation between VET

    providers and employers. During the workshops participants discussed the

    identification of skills needed by

    companies, the role of formal learning

    and of work-based learning in

    competence development, the role of

    companies in promoting youth

    employment and the EU support of

    vocational education and training. The

    closing panels debated challenges and

    the way ahead for policy making

    putting emphasis on more

    permeability between the education

    sectors, flexible learning provision,

    entrepreneurship, up-skilling of low

    skilled people, quality assurance

    aspects. Antonio Silva Mendes,

    Director of Lifelong Learning: policies

    and programme, European

    Commission closed the event

    highlighting the need to accelerate

    reform efforts at all levels.

    1st July-31st December 2010: Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the

    European Union

    From 1st July to 31st December 2012 Cyprus, for the first time, will take over the

    Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU). Cyprus joined the EU in 2004

    and became a euro zone member in 2008. During the Cyprus Presidency, the

    second cycle of the Structured Dialogue, which had set as a priority the

    Participation of young people in democratic life, will be concluded. The Cyprus Presidency is planning to promote the adoption of a Council Resolution, which will

    provide an overview of the second cycle of the Structured Dialogue. Concerning

    youth, the participation and social inclusion of all young people, with special

    emphasis on the inclusion of young people with migrant background will be a

    priority. The importance of the participation of all young people and youth

    organisations, especially in the decision making processes, will be highlighted as an

    important factor for the creation of sustainable, democratic and prosperous

    societies. The conclusion of the Cyprus Presidency at the end of 2012 will also

    signify the end of the first three-year cycle of the EU Youth Strategy. The European

    Commission has already begun to compile evidence from Member States on the

    progress made on youth policy, and drafted a EU Youth Report. This report will be

    adopted by the Council during the Presidency, and will show the results of EU youth

    policy in the last three years.
