Public con­sul­ta­ti­on on the European Quality Framework for Traineeships

The 2014 Council Recommendation on the Quality Framework for Traineeships (QFT) urges EU countries to improve the quality of traineeships, in particular the learning content and working conditions, in order to ease the transition to work.

Between 21 March and 13 June 2022, all EU citizens (espe­ci­al­ly younger people) are invited to share their opinion and expe­ri­ence on the quality of trai­nee­ships. Follow the link to the  online que­sti­on­n­aire (all EU languages).

3s (together with Ecorys) is currently working on a study to evaluate the Council Recommendation to assess the success and relevance of the QFT.
