Traineeship

YfEj provides as well the possibility to find / offer a traineeship contract.

As for the apprenticeship contracts, in order to benefit from YfEj, the traineeship contract will be submitted to some additional requirements. In particular, employers that take an traineeship through YfEj are required to:

• offer skill-enhancing on-the-job learning and training
• provide proper vocational tutorial/mentoring in the host company or organization throughout the work-based training
• as much as possible, provide settlement and logistical support such as help finding accommodation , facilitate attendance of school classes in the case of dual training system and, is applicable, ensure complementary financial support
• issue a certificate or written declaration formally recognizing the knowledge, skills and competences acquired during the traineeship, in accordance with company/national practice.

Please note that traineeships forming part of mandatory professional certification requirements (as is the normal practice with regulated professions such as law, medicine and architecture) are not covered by YfEj.

Moreover, traineeships will be considered as eligible only if they represent a real opportunity of professional empowerment and growth for the young worker and reinforce their capacity to find a job after the end of the traineeship.
