Memo: Employment: 17 Member States have submitted Youth Guarantee Implementation Plans

17 Member States have already submitted to the European Commission their final plans to implement the Youth Guarantee, the ambitious EU-wide reform aiming to help all jobless people under 25 find employment, continued education, an apprenticeship or traineeship within four months of becoming unemployed or leaving formal education. 11 Member States are still preparing their strategies to deliver a national Youth Guarantee scheme.

To take account of the submission of Youth Guarantee Implementation Plans by Member States, the Commission updated its MEMO on the Youth Guarantee on 15 January 2014.
