Internships and Apprenticeships in Europe: A Call for Change

On 14 December the European Youth Forum (EYF), in cooperation with MEPs, various civil society and youth organisations, issued a call to action to tackle youth unemployment, by launching the European Quality Charter on Internships and Apprenticeships, during a conference organised with the support of the OECD. Moreover, the EYF has recently launched the results of ‘Interns Revealed’, a pan-European survey, which gathered close to 4 000 responses, designed to look into the lives of interns across Europe, and discover why the latest generation of young people seems to have become the ‘intern generation’.
