Meaningful work-based training for young people

We hope to inspire you who work with training programs and our intention is to provide advice, approaches and aspects to consider when you are going to arrange a training program and take on trainees. You can get a picture of the ways in which a training period can be implemented, an employer’s approach to training, the characteristics of young people that they think are important, and what role the training program plays in the individual young person’s journey to a job or educational program. Our advice is based on methods and experiences within six ESF projects that we visited where we have conducted 56 interviews with young people, project managers and supervisors as well as a survey of 122 employers who take on trainees from the ESF projects.
