YOUth DEBATE

Alliance for YOUth @ THE PARLIAMENT.

2 June 2015European Parliament, Brussels

The “Alliance for YOUth” partners, a business-driven initiative to tackle youth unemployment across Europe, invite you to a dynamic 60-minutes debate to mark the first anniversary of their pledge to generate more than 100,000 jobs and training opportunities for young people to the European Alliance for Apprenticeships.

 

What has the “Alliance for YOUth” achieved one year after the signature of the pledge? What have we learned to accelerate our commitment? What does the European youth expect from the “Alliance for YOUth”? What do we recommend to policy makers?

 

A high level panel will discuss results from a new survey amongst 635 HR professionals from 70 “Alliance for YOUth” companies in 22 European countries and a YOUth workshop that brought together young trainees and apprentices from companies, institutions and youth organisations.
