From education to the workplace: a global challenge

On 30 June 2011, a seminar on Youth and Employment was hosted by the Employment and Social Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, and jointly organised by four European agencies: Cedefop, ETF, EU-OSHA and Eurofound.

The agencies highlighted the complementarity of their work by each presenting different aspects and perspectives related to youth employment in Europe and its neighbourhood countries.

Topics included
  • the transition from education to the workplace;
  • guidance for young people at risk;
  • safe and decent jobs for young people;
  • the “NEETs” phenomenon and its economic costs;
  • the active inclusion of disadvantaged young people in employment; and 
  • the global dimension of youth employment.
