Youth on the Move

The European Commission launched Youth on the Move, a new flagship initiative aimed at helping young people to gain the knowledge, skills and experience they need to make their first job a reality.

Youth on the Move aims to improve young people’s education and employability, to reduce high youth unemployment and to increase the youth-employment rate – in line with the wider EU target of achieving a 75% employment rate for the working-age population (20-64 years) – by:

•       making education and training more relevant to young people's needs;

•       encouraging more of them to take advantage of EU grants to study or train in another country;

•       encouraging EU countries to take measures simplifying the transition from education to work.
