European Youth Forum’s demands on the review of the Quality Framework on Traineeships
We have collected the views and experiences of young people and youth organisations on trainee- ships and advocated on their behalf at national and European level to improve working conditions for young trainees. This includes through surveys of trainees’ experiences, developing a Quality Charter for Internships and Apprenticeships, working with international institutions and private employers to improve the traineeships they offer, analysing national traineeship policies and advocating for better conditions to EU policy-makers.
