Press Release: Traineeships: survey reveals shortcomings in working conditions and learning content

According to a Eurobarometer survey on the quality of traineeships in the EU published on 26 November 2013, a significant number of trainees feel that their working conditions could be improved and that the learning content of their traineeship is insufficient. Even if the majority of trainees consider their experience useful, the survey shows that almost one in three traineeships is substandard with regard to working conditions or learning content.
