Increasing the quality of trai­nee­ships in Europe

European Commission study evaluating the Council Recommendation on the Quality Framework for Traineeships published.

In 2014, based on the European Council Recommendation, the Quality Framework for Traineeships (QRP) was intro­du­ced. The recently published study assesses the impact of the imple­men­ta­ti­on and discusses whether and, if so, which adjust­ments are desirable. For this purpose, the central deve­lo­p­ments in the EU27 since 2014 are described and it is surveyed what has worked well or less well in the imple­men­ta­ti­on process of the QRP.

The study, com­mis­sio­ned by the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of the European Commission, was carried out by Ecorys, 3s and Spark Legal Network. Mariya Dzhengozova and Monika Auzinger con­tri­bu­ted to research and reporting.

The full text of the “Study sup­port­ing the eva­lua­ti­on of the Quality Framework for Traineeships” and executive summaries in English and German can be found here.
