- 11. EURES (EURopean employment services) portalInValcamonica we visited another place: The Centre of Employment in Darfo Boario Terme to find more information about policy initiatives for young people in Europe. We were informed about the existence of EURES. It provides information, advice and services for the benefit of workers and employers. It is a cooperation network between the European Commission and Public Employment Services (PES) of 28 Member States. There are more than a million visitors on the EURES portal per month.

The scheme combines information, recruitment, matching and job placement support with financial incentives. It finances language courses, other training needs and travel expenses for young job applicants.
- 13. EU Youth Guarantee InApril 2013 EU Member States made a commitment to ensure young people’s transition into work by establishing “Youth Guarantee Schemes”, to ensure that no young people are left unemployed or inactive for longer than four months. It means that, within four months of leaving school or losing a job, young people under 25 have to find a good quality job suited to their education, or acquire skills to find a new job through apprenticeship or continued education. It improves school to work transitions and to support jobs for young people.
- 14. EU Youth Guarantee Therewill be more EU Investment Funds in the years 2014- 2020 for the labour market integration of young NEETs (“not in employment, education or training”), because 7.5 million young Europeans between 15 and 24 are not employed, not in education and not in training (NEETs) especially in southern Europe.
- 15. EU Youth Guarantee TheEU has also agreed to create a Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) to provide additional funding to support the implementations of the Youth Guarantee as it is considered an investment. Young people can acquire high quality work experience under safe conditions and to increase their employability. There are also guidelines to ensure that all traineeships are based on a written agreement related to: • learning objectives • mentorship • limited duration • working time • clear indication about compensation and social protection apply • what work • where • for whom • why.
- 16. EU Youth Guarantee Youngpeople have to move where jobs are available and they need ways to re-enter education and training allowing them to obtain good qualifications. The Youth Guarantee website explains all the actions to a wider audience and it provides information and guidance to Member States. We hope that all that is written in these European Programmes can really be translated into reality for all our young European citizens.
