06-12-2022 - 08:54
The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL) held an exchange of views on the legislative-initiative report on Quality Traineeships, rapporteur Monica SEMEDO (Renew) on 30th November at 15:30. The exchange of views aimed to examine and get a better understanding of the challenges and possible solutions on the ground that in turn should support young people from all backgrounds to access quality employment and career opportunities.
The European Parliament has repeatedly stressed the importance of ensuring implementation of quality traineeships and to fight abuses through EU-level measures. The level of regulation of traineeships varies across Member States, and even between different types of traineeships within individual Member States. The regulatory framework for different types of traineeships is in many countries unclear and/or uncertain which may make it difficult to draw a distinction between traineeships and regular work and leave room for misuses.
After the exchange of views, a presentation of a European added value study on Quality of traineeships in the EU followed. The study examined the extent to which the 2014 Quality Framework on Traineeships has supported better transitions from education to employment.
