- - - - This will lead to simplified and better access to support for those out of work for long periods.
        The job integration agreement should consist of a tailor-made plan to bring the long-term unemployed back to work. It can include, depending on the existing services in each Member State:
        mentoring,
        help with the job search,
        further education and training,
        support for housing, transport, child and care services or rehabilitation.
        Each long-term unemployed will have a single point of contact for accessing this support.
        Member States have committed to an active involvement and partnership with employers, who should be more involved in finding a pathway back to work for the long-term unemployed
- - - - In an apprenticeship, you share your time between learning in school and training in a company. Normally you will have a contract with the company and get paid for your work. When you finish your apprenticeship, you receive a fully recognised diploma and qualification.
    - - You get valuable work experience that you can put on your CV, and good contacts in the industry or sector that can help you start your career. 2 in 3 get hired immediately after they finish their apprenticeship.
      - Europe needs more workers with practical skills and qualifications. In an apprenticeship you develop the skills that employers are looking for, which will boost your employability.
    - - The EU has established the Drop'pin platform for sharing for apprenticeship and other work-based learning opportunities. Most opportunities are still provided nationally through the vocational education and training system. You can contact the career adviser in your school to find out more information about apprenticeships.
  - - - Traineeships are becoming increasingly common for young people during or after their studies, as they can help them to gain relevant experience and find a foothold in the labour market. A Eurobarometer survey on traineeships in 2013 showed that almost every second young person in the age group 18-35 had at least one traineeship experience. 7 out of 10 ex-trainees stated that their traineeship experience was useful in finding a regular job.
      - Increasingly, however, a range of stakeholders have voiced concerns about the quality of traineeships. In particular, some traineeships tend to misuse young people as a cheap or free labour force, without helping the trainee to get a foothold on the labour market.
    - - As a European response to these concerns, the Commission proposed a Council Recommendation on a Quality Framework for Traineeships (QFT) in December 2013, after a two-stage social partner consultation that did not result in a social partner agreement. The Council adopted in March 2014 its final Recommendation, based on the Commission's proposal.
      - The QFT proposes guidelines for traineeships outside formal education to provide a high quality learning content and fair working conditions so that traineeships support education-to-work transitions and increase the employability of trainees.
      - The 22 quality elements that are part of the QFT are directly transposable into national legislation or social partner agreements. The QFT is particularly relevant as a reference for quality offers of traineeships under the Youth Guarantee, since many national Youth Guarantee schemes foresee traineeships as one of the four types of offers for young people.
