Youth on the Move: improving access to the job market
23 Jul 2010
In September, the European Commission will adopt the initiative 'Youth on the Move'. Its goal is to promote the mobility of students and trainees and to improve the employment situation of young people.
The proposal is a contribution to the EU’s reform strategy Europe 2020, which aims to develop an economy based on knowledge and innovation. Young people have an important role to play in this, but they need more support in order to unleash their full potential.
'Youth on the Move' will encourage EU countries to work together to improve the overall quality of all levels of education and training in de EU. This will give young people in Europe better opportunities to make the best of their skills.
