This document discusses youth unemployment in Europe and initiatives to address it. It notes that over 5 million young people in the EU are unemployed, with rates as high as 40% in some countries. While unemployment is high, many jobs remain unfilled due to skills mismatches. The European Commission has identified factors contributing to youth unemployment like early school leaving, lack of skills/experience, and limited training programs. It outlines several EU initiatives to help young people improve employment prospects such as Erasmus+, which funds education/training abroad, and Youth on the Move, which aims to better equip youth for jobs.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Youth unemployment
• There are currently more than five million unemployed young
people in the European Union (EU), which means that one in five
young people on the labour market cannot FIND A JOB.
• It is becoming harder for young people to find work in a context of

unemployment may reach 40 %. This Communication notes that a
total of 7.5 million people in the 15-24 age group are neither in
employment nor in education or training.
• Although unemployment is high, many posts remain vacant. This
situation points to labour market mismatches in the EU. Between
now and 2020, there will be 73 million JOB OPENINGS due to
retirement of workers, which should be filled by young people with
the necessary skills.
4. Factors
• The European Commission has identified several
factors in youth unemployment:
• early school leaving without qualifications;
• lack of relevant skills and lack of work experience;
• precarious employment followed by spells of
unemployment;
• limited training opportunities;
• insufficient/inappropriate active labour

14. • Through learning mobility, young people can acquire new professional
competences and thus improve their future employability. At the same
time, learning mobility has enabled education and training systems and
institutions to become more accessible, international and efficient. In
order to extend opportunities for learning mobility to all young people,
the Commission:
• created a “Youth on the Move” website for information on opportunities
for leaning and mobility in the EU;
• proposed a Council recommendation to EU countries that addresses the
obstacles to learning mobility;
• will develop a Youth on the Move card to facilitate mobile learners’
integration process abroad;
• will develop in 2012 a European skills passport based on Europass, which
will facilitate the recognition throughout the EU of competences acquired
by European young people outside the formal education system.

test new ways to help young people FIND A
JOB anywhere in the EU;
